Automatic Detection and Notification of Potholes on Roads to Aid Drivers



India, the second most populous Country in the world and a fast growing economy, is known to have a gigantic net work of roads. Roads are the dominant means of transportation in India today .They carry almost 90percent of country’s passenger traffic and 65percent of its freight .However, most of the roads in India are narrow and congested with poor surface quality and road maintenance needs are not satisfactorily met. Roads in India normally have speed breakers so that the vehicle’s speed can be controlled to avoid accidents. However, these speed breakers are unevenly distributed with uneven and unscientific heights. Potholes, formed due to heavy rains and movement of heavy vehicles, also become a major reason for traumatic accidents and loss of human lives. To address the above mentioned problems, a cost effective solution is needed that collects the information about the severity of potholes and humps and also helps drivers to drive safely. With the proposed system an attempt has been made to endorse drivers to ward off the accidents caused due to potholes and raised humps.
