Here we propose design of ‘Pothole detection System’ which assists the driver in avoiding pot-holes on the roads, by giving him prior warnings. Warnings can be like buzzer if the driver is approaching a pothole, or driver may be warned in advanced regarding what road has how many potholes. This system is divided into three subsystems. First is sensing subsystem which senses the potholes encount...

Aging roads and poor road-maintenance systems result a large number of potholes, whose numbers increase over time. Potholes jeopardize road safety and transportation efficiency. Moreover, they are often a contributing factor to car accidents. To address the problems associated with potholes, the locations and size of potholes must be determined quickly. Sophisticated road-maintenance strategies...

hen spring finally comes to New England, it brings with it gaping holes in roads. The larger of these potholes are patched, but the road can never be made smooth again. Smaller potholes, although a daily nuisance, are often not repaired at all. Something similar is happening in the area of information systems: People who need information to accomplish their tasks are finally being provided with...

We outline an affordable system that continuously monitors the road network for surface damage like potholes and cracks. The system consists of a structured light sensor and a camera mounted on vehicles that travel the roads on a regular basis. It makes use of sensors and equipment already present on the vehicle, like GPS on transit buses. The data is collected from many vehicles, aggregated an...

This article is an ethnographic study of potholes in roads urban India. The describes different forms attention to potholes, including cases media advocacy, clinical reflections on injury and attempts by accident survivor document danger the roads. Throughout, it argues for embodiment infrastructure, particularly, how people move through infrastructures. stems from a broader research project ab...

IN T R O D U C T IO N The major material utilized in the construction of the roads, streets and highways of this country is asphalt. Of the nation’s 3.84 million miles of roads, 1.86 million are paved, hard-surfaced structures. 1.74 million or 94% of these paved roads are constructed of asphalt (Fig. 1). Likewise, within the state of Indiana, 83% or about 9300 miles of the 11,200 miles under th...

Vehicle traffic is responsible for the resuspended road dust. Substantial fraction of PM10 in urban air is mainly due to non-exhaust traffic emissions and resuspension from street surfaces. These road non-exhaust emissions are often uncontrolled and information about the effectiveness of mitigation measures on paved roads is still scarce. The present work is aimed to design a dust collector sys...

Prediction models for low volume village roads in India are developed to evaluate the progression of different types of distress such as roughness, cracking, and potholes. Even though the Government of India is investing huge quantum of money on road construction every year, poor control over the quality of road construction and its subsequent maintenance is leading to the faster road deteriora...

Potholes have been and still are a huge problem for every walk of life. There many deaths accidents reported daily due to that very problem. For reason, pothole recognition comes into the picture. To maintain preserve road, it is vital detect potholes. It also helps in prevention accidents. Roads play an important part day-to-day transportation person around world. But quality roads decreases d...

Several urban areas of the country in violation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for particulate matter have identified fugitive dust generated by vehicular traffic on paved streets and highways resulting from mud/dirt carryout from unpaved areas as a primary source of PM-10 (particles ≤ 10 μm in aerodynamic diameter). Since little data are currently available on the amount ...
