Real time detection of speed breakers and warning system for on-road drivers

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.
