Detection of Potholes and Speed Breaker on Road

Abstract

We proposed a pothole detection system to monitor road pavement. In this paper, we are focusing on earlier potholes detection systems that have been developed and introduces a worthwhile solution to recognize humps, potholes and speed breakers on road surface and give up-to-date signals to drivers to avoid vehicle damages or accidents, by giving him earlier warnings. To identify of humps, speed breaker and potholes, ultrasonic sensors are used and also to estimate their height and depth, respectively. In our proposed system, we are using global positioning system receiver (GPS receiver) for identification of geographical location coordinates of the detected potholes and speed breaker. The data which are sensed by the ultrasonic sensors includes geographical location, the height of speed breakers and depth of potholes, which is saved in the local and cloud database. This paper also considers updating the database on the regular basis so that potholes can be repaired regularly by concerned authorities.
