Abstract: Country’s economy depend on well-maintained roads as they are major means of transportation. It becomes essential to identify pothole and humps in order to avoid accidents and damages to the vehicles that is caused because of distress to drivers and also to save fuel consumption. In this regard, this work presents a simple solution to detect potholes and humps and hence avoid accidents and help drivers. Potholes are detected using Image Processing Technique and Ultrasonic Sensors are used to detect humps. Controlling device used is Raspberry Pi. The system acquires the geographical position of potholes using Wi-Fi and transmits it to authorities to take corrective measures.
Keywords: Maintenance of Roads, Pothole, Hump, Image Processing, Ultrasonic Sensor, Raspberry Pi, Wi-Fi.
