  • Abstract:
  • One of the major problems in developing countries is maintenance of roads. This has resulted in many potholes. Pothole is a depression in the normal surface of the road. Potholes jeopardize road safety and they are often a contributing factor to accidents. Automatic pothole detection and crime alerting system assists the driver in avoiding potholes on the roads, by detecting it and giving prior warnings. Ultrasonic sensors are used to identify potholes and a GPS receiver is used to capture the geographical location coordinates of potholes. This information is also stored in the database. Alerts are given in the form of a message and LCD display. Apart from this, the system also includes crime alerting with respect to a specific location using an android app. Android user can post the crime based on the event happened in that place. Users can also post the photo of the crime activity that happened. This information is stored in the server and it is updated in the app only when more than three people have posted or accepted the same event in order to avoid fake information. Once the event is posted, automatic alert is given to all the general users who cross that area. This helps new users to travel in a safer way.
