Abstract:
India witnessed one of the highest road accidents in the world, as stated by Union
road transport and highways ministry in 2016. Road accident often takes place due
to bad road weather condition, reckless driving etc. Accident occurring are often not
noticed or reported late that leads to loss of victim’s life or serious injuries caused
permanently. One of the problems associated with bad road condition is the pothole
on road.
Accident Alert Pothole Detection System (AAPDS)is a system designed for reporting
of accident and potholes on roads. The System consists of various sensors
that are used for sensing accident’s and pothole’s on roads. A smartphone is used to
provide exact location of accidents using GSM GPS module present in smartphone
after the response from the sensor is taken. A map is provided to navigate the location
of accident. Similarly a sensor is used for sensing pothole’s. This data is then
processed by the processing module send to the smartphone, where the map is used
to display the location of pothole’s. Further the collection of such data can be send
to concern authorities where this kind of data is stored and managed for managing
the road condition and providing prior warning of accident prone area.
