Potholes and Humps Detection for Vehicle Safety

One of the major problems in developing countries is maintenance of roads. Well maintained roads contribute a major portion to the country's economy. Identification of potholes and humps not only helps drivers to avoid accidents or vehicle damages, but also helps authorities to maintain roads. This project discusses previous pothole detection methods that have been developed and proposes a cost effective solution to identify the potholes and humps on roads and provide timely alerts to drivers to avoid accidents or vehicle damages. Ultrasonic sensors are used to identify the potholes and humps and also to measure their depth and height, respectively. The proposed system captures the geographical location coordinates of the potholes and humps using a global positioning system receiver. The sensed data includes pothole depth, height of hump, and geographic location, which is stored in the database. This serves as a valuable source of information to the government authorities and vehicle drivers. An android application is used to alert drivers so that precautionary measures can be taken to evade accidents respectively. Information about depth of pothole, height of hump as well as location, which is sensed by the sensor, is stored in the database. This proposed system note the geographical location coordinates of potholes and humps using GPS receivers and store that information as complaint to the government sector. This serves as a valuable source of information to the concerned authorities and to vehicle drivers. To avoid accidents a web application is used to aware drivers so that safety measures. Madura Y.
