Abstract
Speed breakers or Hump has formed to reduce the accidents, but unfortunately excessive use of speed breakers on urban area / inner cities / metropolitan it distracts vehicle drivers. In addition to that, most of time drivers often cannot recognize the appearance of unmarked speed breakers and lose control of the vehicle, causing serious accidents and loss of lives. Especially in India speed breakers may not be visible to driver’s eye due to fade borders, having no cross lines to indicate, damaged road, less differentiation from road and so on due to poor maintenance, in this article we proposed a new approach to sort out identified problems using image processing techniques. As we seen the high severity is in night time most cases, we planned to developed algorithms to work on night time as driver may avoid / mitigate the critical situation in daytime.
