Description

Accidents owing to potholes has become an alarming problem in todays life. The first step to solve this problem requires, designing a device embedded on the vehicle which can continuously scan the road surface for identifying potholes, alerting the driver in time and enable the driver to avoid the pothole. The second step is to introduce a technique to enable the device to locate the position of the pothole via GPS (Global Positioning System). The GPS data can be uploaded via a GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) module or Bluetooth module onto a data base which is stored locally. This database can then be transferred to the cloud using WiFi or 4G technology by connecting the system. The third aspect is to link the database to a network system incorporating mapping software such as Google Maps or Open-Street Map. The data in the system can be made available to the general public as well as municipalities and road maintenance agencies. Awareness of the location of potholes will help drivers to avoid those roads and being more careful while driving on the same roads. This paper focuses on the pothole detection task based on image processing algorithms and the data captured from ultrasonic sensor placed on the vehicle. The later steps were implemented through Bluetooth interface available in smartphones. IJSTR 2020.
