Abstract

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 pavement distress such as 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 potholes and humps on roads and provide timely alerts to drivers to avoid accidents or vehicle damages. Ultrasonic sensors are used to identify potholes and humps and also to measure their depth and height respectively. The proposed system captures the geographical location coordinates of potholes and humps using GPS 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 to vehicle drivers. An Webpage is used to alert drivers and authorities so that precautionary measures.
