Real time detection of speed breakers and warning system for on-road drivers
Mahbuba Afrin, Redowan Mahmud, Md. Abdur Razzaque · 2015
The excessive use of speed breakers on national highways distracts vehicle drivers. In addition to that, drivers often can't recognize the appearance of unmarked speed breakers and loose control of the vehicle, causing serious accidents and loss of lives. In the literature, there exist a few methods to warn on-road drivers about the upcoming speed breakers which are highly error-prone and time consuming. Moreover, none of them pay any heed to track the information of infringing speed breakers. In this paper, we come forward with a system that facilitates autonomous speed breaker data collection, dynamic speed breaker detection and warning generation for the on-road drivers. Our system also incorporates real-time tracking of driver, vehicle and timing information for speed breaker rule violations. The proposed system outperforms the state-of-the-art works with which it is compared to in terms of response time and accuracy.
