Design and Implementation of System for Rider's Safety Against Extreme Climatic Conditions and Uneven Road

Abstract

Now-a-days climatic change is becoming more intense over the past years and poorly maintained roads are affecting bike riders. Climatic changes include heavy rain and overheat which affects bike rider and leads to accident. To overcome this, we came with an approach to protect rider by monitoring and sensing environmental parameters by using sensors such as LM35 sensor for measuring temperature to avoid overheat and raindrop sensor for sensing rain and protect rider with canopy which provides shelter to rider. The proposed system also identifies the potholes and humps on roads to avoid accidents by alerting rider with voice message and when potholes and humps are found, the location is recorded by using GPS receiver and through GSM module the coordinates are stored in Thingspeak, which aids government officials in maintaining and repairing the potholes and humps. The proposed system is integrated with ARM-7 LPC2148 microcontroller which is a low cost and high speed operatable.
