Road Monitoring and Sensing System using Mobile Sensors

Roads play a very essential role in the improvement of a city’s infrastructure, in addition to our day to day lives, as larger number of manpower commute from one place to other via road. Road surface condition must be closely monitored and checked, as sub-standard roads with many potholes and cracks can result in damages in the vehicles as well as accidents on the roads due to the dis-balancing of vehicles. Smartphone sensors, tablets with high capacity to sense the road infrastructure with the help of various sensors have supplied the ideas to efficiently tackle several real-life problems. Using smartphone sensors, we devised a system for finding potholes on the road surface. The accelerometer and gyroscope measurements from mobile sensors are collected using a flutter-based android application. We find out the precise place of potholes on the street floor with the aid of using reading and spotting styles from accelerometer and gyroscope readings from cellphone sensors and storing those facts in a database. Later, it could take delivery of to the right government for street upkeep.
