Smart Road Monitoring System to prevent accidents
The students and faculty innovators from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi, have developed a Smart Road Monitoring System to prevent accidents caused at sharp/blind turns, causing fatalities and injuries.
Dr Kala Venkata Uday, Assistant Professor, School of Engineering, IIT Mandi, along with his team of BTech students — Naman Chaudhary and Shishir Asthana from Mechanical Engineering; Amudhan Muthaiah from Electrical Engineering, and Nidhika Kadela from Civil Engineering, developed the system to be used for speed detection, vehicle counts, enhanced traffic control and road usage, by employing the Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems and IoT.
The system has two layers of detection units on each side and two signalling units to alert drivers. When a vehicle passes through the two consecutive layers of detection units, the system detects the speed, direction and type of vehicle. The detected direction confirms if the vehicle is advancing towards the turn and a corresponding signal is displayed on the other side to alert the drivers of an oncoming vehicle.
