An Intelligent Mobility System Integrating Obstacle Detection and Road Anomaly Recognition
Abstract
Road safety is often compromised due to unexpected obstacles and road surface irregularities like potholes. This paper presents an intelligent vehicle system that uses a hybrid sensor approach for real-time detection of both obstacles and road anomalies. An ultrasonic sensor monitors objects in the vehicle's path, while a vibration/accelerometer sensor identifies potholes by detecting sudden changes in road surface conditions. The sensor data is processed by a microcontroller, and results are displayed on an LCD/OLED screen for immediate visual feedback. Experimental testing shows that the system effectively detects hazards, enhancing safety while remaining cost-efficient. The proposed solution provides a foundation for further development in intelligent mobility and smart transportation systems.
