IoT-BASED POTHOLE DETECTION SYSTEM

Abstract

Road infrastructure plays a crucial role in transportation and urban development. However, potholes and road damage pose significant risks, leading to vehicle damage, accidents, and increased maintenance costs. The IoT-based pothole detection system is an intelligent solution that utilizes sensors, GPS, microcontrollers, and wireless communication to identify potholes in real-time. The system integrates ultrasonic sensors, vibration sensors, and GPS modules to detect road anomalies and send their precise location to relevant authorities for timely repairs.
This project aims to automate pothole detection, reducing manual inspection efforts and improving road safety. By leveraging cloud computing, AI, and machine learning, the system can enhance detection accuracy and provide predictive road maintenance insights. The collected data can be used by governments and city planners to optimize road infrastructure and traffic management.
With advancements in 5G, smart city integration, and autonomous vehicles, this IoT-based solution has the potential to revolutionize road monitoring, making transportation safer, more efficient, and cost-effective.
