Development of Pothole and Hump Detection Robot Notifying It’s Location Via Android App

Abstract

In areas of the road surface that have split, deteriorated, and eventually formed a depression of varied depths depending on the severity of the damage, there are hollow, negative structural impairments known as potholes. The effectiveness and quality of the road infrastructure may be harmed. In addition to making roads rough, it damages tyres and throws wheels out of alignment. It is the primary cause of traffic accidents and casualties. Road pothole identification by hand can be tiresome, time-consuming, incorrect, and ineffective. Consequently, a reliable automated system for detecting potholes is required. Despite the introduction of numerous pothole detection systems and the projected rapid developments in the coming years, the cost-effective deployment of these techniques still presents a significant barrier. This document compares and summarizes numerous pothole detecting methods using various technologies, along with their advantages and disadvantages. A sensor-based pothole detection system utilizing ultrasonic sensors has been presented in order to construct a cost-effective pothole detecting system. When a pothole is detected, the sensor alerts the driver by sending an alert via a mobile application that must be integrated with the detection system. The information can also be kept on a server to inform the government about road maintenance and repairs. When compared to alternative ways, the suggested method is straightforward and less expensive. It can be used extensively in many different types of cars.
