Road Surface Health Monitoring Smart Shoes For Traffic Police

The Road Surface Health Monitoring Smart Shoes for Traffic Police project presents an IoT-based wearable monitoring system using FSR pressure sensors, a piezoelectric sensor, an MPU6050, and an ESP32 microcontroller. The system collects and processes sensor data and displays the readings through the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor and Blynk IoT dashboard. The prototype demonstrates sensor integration, real-time data visualization, and threshold-based status indications. This approach provides a foundation for monitoring foot-pressure variations, movement, and road-surface impacts among traffic police personnel. Further improvements in sensor calibration, detection accuracy, power efficiency, and experimental validation can enhance the system's reliability and practical applicability.
