ABSTRACT Over-speeding is a major cause of road accidents worldwide. This study presents a cat-eye reflector system integrated with a tachometer to improve road safety. The system changes the reflector’s colour based on vehicle speed—white for normal and red for speeding—providing a clear warning to drivers and pedestrians, especially in low-visibility conditions. Advancements like solar-powered LEDs and IoT integration enhance the system’s effectiveness by improving visibility and offering real-time traffic updates. These reflectors are useful in urban streets, highways, and airports, guiding vehicles and reducing accidents. While promising, challenges like limited daytime visibility and weather durability need attention. Addressing these can make the system more reliable and impactful for safer roads.
