IoT Framework for Realtime Speed and Road Condition Monitoring

Abstract

The modern economy depends on a robust transportation network, with road conditions and vehicle speed playing critical roles in economic health and safety. This real-time IoT framework is designed to monitor road conditions and vehicle speed. An accelerometer mounted on a vehicle’s rear axle captures vertical acceleration data, which is used to assessing road quality. Additionally, a hall effect sensor measures the vehicle’s speed in real time. The framework comprises a hardware node that gathers and transmits sensor data to a remote monitoring system. This system processes the data and visually maps road conditions, offering an immediate and clear assessment of road quality. It also monitors vehicle speed to ensure adherence to speed limits, thereby enhancing road safety. While the system’s performance relies on internet connectivity, it effectively tracks road conditions and promotes safer driving by raising awareness of speed limits.
