The "Pothole Alert System for Safer Two-Wheeler Riding" project addresses the pressing issue of road safety in India, particularly during the monsoon season when hazardous potholes are prevalent. Potholes are responsible for approximately 6% of accidents, with a significant number involving two-wheeler vehicles. To mitigate these accidents, this innovative system employs a GPS module to pinpoint potholes' exact locations and assess their severity. The data is stored on the device and later transmitted to a remote database when an internet connection is available. A dedicated web page displays this information on a map, allowing both the public and municipal officials to understand the distribution of potholes. The system processes real-time sensor data to instantly identify and classify potholes by severity. When a pothole is detected, it generates immediate alerts for riders through various communication channels, including visual indicators on the vehicle's dashboard and audible alarms. Integration with a web platform also provides historical data on pothole occurrences and road conditions. This project's goal is to reduce accidents caused by potholes by implementing an intelligent system that rapidly detects and communicates pothole severity to two-wheeler riders. It not only enhances road safety but also encourages collaboration between the public and relevant authorities to facilitate proactive road maintenance. In summary, the Pothole Alert System is a comprehensive solution that leverages technology to address a critical safety issue on Indian roads and fosters a more proactive approach to road maintenance and safety.
