As per National Crime Records Bureau Data (2011), road accident deaths in India account for the highest amongst unnatural deaths with over 35% of total causes of deaths. Over speeding causes the maximum accidents. Thus the solution lies in controlling over speeding of transport vehicles thereby inducing discipline amongst drivers through the use of technology. Speed Governors is such a device that restricts the maximum speed of a vehicle to a preset limit.

Speed Governor consists of three basic components:

- Electronic Control Unit (ECU): The Brain of SG regulates the fuel flow to the engine by controlling the Solenoid valve.
- Fuel Control Valve / Actuator: Regulates the fuel flow to the engine based on the vehicle speed.
- Speed Sensor: Fitted on the Vehicle Gearbox. Measures the Vehicle speed and transmits to the ECU.

The advantages of the Speed Governor are:

Better safety by avoiding over-speeding.
Preventive rather than reactionary.
Reduced strain on engines, thereby increasing the life of engines.
Increased Fuel Efficiency.
Improved Operational Efficiency.
Increased Safety.
Reduced fuel consumption.
Reduced maintenance cost for the vehicle owner(s).
Reduced strain on engines, thereby increasing the life of engines.
Reduced pollution, improving the environment.
