Abstract
In today’s scenario of continuous development and reconstruction of the localities and surrounding buildings, factories, companies, flyovers, etc. and increase in the vehicular traffic have resulted in building speed breakers. Although these were made in order to control the speed of the vehicles for the safety of the people and mainly to reduce road accident casualties. But on the contrary the incorrect construction or unnecessary construction of breakers in front of their properties is leading to an increase of accidents. One another demerit to the road safety is the poor building of roads and its potholes. One way is that various organizations should do their work properly so as to improve road safety. But, rather than waiting for organizations to do the maintenance work we can work for our safety through various tools, which works on software codes. Since, slowly and slowly the lifestyle is becoming technology based, the major focus here is the designing of a system for detecting both bad road conditions as well as speed breakers with an already bonding. The approach which has been used in the paper is a real-time approach and has been developed by android service which actually runs in the background and also it relies on the application of Google maps which is present in the smartphone. The service will basically provide an early warning if a speed breaker or a bumpy road is about to be present in the way. Also it provides an alternative route as well as a better route apart from these already alerts to the user.
