IoT Based Pothole Detection and Alert System

The maintenance of roads is crucial for transportation and the economy. Potholes and humps on roads can lead to accidents, vehicle damage, and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, it is important to detect and identify potholes and humps to prevent accidents and reduce damage to vehicles. A simple and effective solution can be implemented to address this problem. Detection of potholes will be done by ultrasonic sensor and the width of the pothole can be determined by the picture taken by the ESP32 Camera Module. This photo along with the exact coordinates will be pushed on the map with the help of GPS module, the whole system will be controlled by Arduino Nano microcontroller, so that the other drivers get an alerted in advance.
