Speed Breaker Detection and Mapping using IoT

With increasing road accidents due to improper and non-standard speed breakers, it is the need of the hour to address this issue appropriately, and due to this although speed breakers are built for safety, they are posing to be more of a danger. This is mainly due to building illegal speed breakers and not maintaining existing ones. The existing solutions are largely dependent on the user or the surrounding, both of which do not provide immediate accuracy and dependability. This paper presents a self-improving system with minimal user involvement and aims to cover nearly all the drawbacks of the current solutions. It suggests speed breaker detection by measuring the difference in the height between the road level and the vehicle. In this approach, GPS coordinates are stored in an online database system that is available to the public through a portal. When the vehicle is at a predefined distance away from the speed breaker, the user is notified resulting in improved accuracy with every usage.
