ABSTRACT

One of the primary issues faced by emerging countries is the maintenance of road condition. Traffic infrastructure for the society is highly significant because majority of road accidents takes place owing to bad condition of road like potholes. Potholes are caused due to poor quality and improperly maintained roadways. The constant movement of the overweight vehicles like trucks is also responsible for these ill roads. These ill quality roads will cause severe damage to the vehicles in terms of tire and most important thing is the accidents which are caused due to this. To track the state of the roads and conduct analyses for upcoming work, an ideal system should be created. We suggest a new technique to stop these dangers by leveraging an advanced sensor system. The sensors will be fitted to vehicles and from vehicles the data’s collected from sensors and the location gained by the GPS are communicated to road transport authority through IOT where officials take necessary actions. Using the data’s obtained more damaged area can be prioritized and damage control can be reduced.
