A Pothole Detection System
چکیده
Here we propose design of ‘Pothole detection System’ which assists the driver in avoiding pot-holes on the roads, by giving him prior warnings. Warnings can be like buzzer if the driver is approaching a pothole, or driver may be warned in advanced regarding what road has how many potholes. This system is divided into three subsystems. First is sensing subsystem which senses the potholes encountered by it, about which it did not have the prior information. Then communication subsystem which transfers the information between Wi-Fi access point and mobile node. Access Point broadcasts the data about potholes in its area. When vehicle gets this data vehicle sees if it has sensed any potholes which access point does not have information about; if it is the case then the information about those potholes is transmitted to access point as a feedback. Access Point updates its database with the new entries of potholes. And finally the localization subsystem which reads the data given by Access points and warns the driver regarding the occurrence of pothole.
