IoT Based Road Damage Alert System | Arduino Pothole Detection Project | Smart City Innovation

Описание: #thinksengineers
This video presents our innovative IoT-Based Road Damage Alert System, designed to detect potholes and damaged roads automatically using sensors and GPS technology.

Road damage such as potholes, cracks, and bumps is a major cause of accidents, vehicle damage, and traffic problems. Traditional road inspection methods are slow and expensive. Our project introduces a smart and low-cost solution that detects road damage in real time and sends alerts with location information to authorities for quick repair.

In this project, we used Arduino, MPU6050 Accelerometer Sensor, GPS Module, and GSM communication to build a smart system that can detect sudden vibrations caused by potholes and report the exact location.

📌 Project Highlights

Real-time pothole detection

GPS location tracking

Automatic alert system

Low-cost IoT solution

Smart city infrastructure support

⚙ Hardware Components Used

Arduino Uno / Nano / Raspberry Pi Pico

MPU6050 Accelerometer & Gyroscope Sensor

NEO-6M GPS Module

SIM800L GSM Module

Buzzer / LED indicator

Battery Power Supply

📍 How the System Works

The device is installed inside a moving vehicle.

When the vehicle passes over a pothole, the MPU6050 sensor detects sudden vibration.

The Arduino compares the vibration with a preset threshold.

If road damage is detected, the GPS module records the location.

The system sends an alert message to authorities or an IoT dashboard.

🚀 Applications

Smart city infrastructure monitoring

Municipal road maintenance

Driver safety systems

Navigation warning systems

This project helps reduce accidents, improve road safety, and support smart city development.
