VI. CONCLUSION
The proposed system is given by a detailed study on the
existing system for the detection of potholes. The proposed
system conveys an easy and affordable method of detecting
the potholes over the road. This simple method is sufficient
for the estimation of road quality. This avoids the traffic
congestion and collision by giving the prior knowledge about
the travel. This approach proves to be a great advantage for all
drivers to maintain a safe travel especially during night time
when roads are not visible properly. The method dealt in this
work is a smart way of identifying the potholes without much
effect .This method has a high degree of accuracy when
compare with the previous method. The enhancement in the
technology and high reliability in mapping have proven to
help the works as an added advantage .Although we can
culminate that an elementary paradigmatic presented may be
enough to estimate the quality of the road .But then there are
still many issues that are to be addressed in our future works
to deal with the problem more efficiently.
