POTHOLE DETECTION SYSTEM

Aging roads and poor road-maintenance systems result a large number of potholes, whose numbers increase over time. Potholes jeopardize road safety and transportation efficiency. Moreover, they are often a contributing factor to car accidents. To address the problems associated with potholes, the locations and size of potholes must be determined quickly. Sophisticated road-maintenance strategies can be developed using a pothole database, which requires a specific pothole-detection system that can collect pothole information at low cost and over a wide area. However, pothole repair has long relied on manual detection efforts. Recent automatic detection systems, such as those based on vibrations or laser scanning, are insufficient to detect potholes correctly and inexpensively owing to the unstable detection of vibration-based methods and high costs of laser scanning-based methods. Thus, in this paper, we introduce a new pothole-detection system using a commercial black-box camera. The proposed system detects potholes over a wide area and at low cost. We have developed a novel pothole-detection algorithm specifically designed to work with the embedded computing environments of black-box cameras. Experimental results are presented with our proposed system, showing that potholes can be detected accurately in real-time

WOMEN SAFETY DEVICE

Women safety has always been an issue even in these modern times with so much advancement in technology. Women are not safe anywhere and are most vulnerable when travelling alone into lonely roads and deserted places. Existing hand held safety devices for women have many disadvantages as they require a software application to be connected with and also should be connected with Bluetooth . So to overcome these disadvantages we propose a solution which will try to overcome the disadvantages of the existing systems and also aim at providing true proof safety to women. The proposed work aims at designing an IoT based safety device that relies on providing security to women by connecting GPS and GSM to locate place and alert message is send to registered numbers when a women is not safe. When there is unsafe situation women can press push button of the device which sends alert message with location automatically to the registered number

Not AvailableVivipary is the precocious germination of seeds while attached to the mother plants itself. Many plants especially those are growing in adverse geographical situation (Mangroves, sea grasses etc.) exhibit vivipary to sustain its population. In addition to vivipary, many grasses exhibiting a condition called pseudo vivipary. In this case the propagules are not developed from mature seeds but it develops from the floral meritstem or any other vegetative tissue around it. The asexual propagules such as bulbils or plantlets replace the sexual reproductive structures. The occurrence of pseudo vivipary is observed in one clone of Neyraudia reynaudiana (IND 89-734) in the germplasm collection maintained at SBIRC, KannurNot Availabl
