Abstract: The proposed work is to create a robot using IOT through which it performs a routine check up on roads for damages. Especially in highway roads most of the accidents occur due to road damage and improper maintenance. Through this project road conditions can always be monitored and accidents can be avoided. Until now, Government uses costly methods like road rollers and tar laying machines to fix the roads. It is more time consuming and not cost efficient. The key idea of this project is to create a robot using Arduino and ultrasonic sensors. Sensors are placed at the bottom of the robot. When some road damage is detected it send information to the authority. Our prototype detects the potholes and pits on the road and fills them with the appropriate material .If the pits are too large to fill up ,the GSM module is activated and a SMS is sent to the concerned department. The Camera module is also activated which captures the images of the pits and sends via app. Google map is used to send the location of the concerned area.
