IOT based manhole detection and monitoring system using Arduino

Abstract

A good manhole management is a symbol of good city. Nowadays manholes and its maintenance are the main problem in the metropolitan smart cities. Also, contamination of fresh water due to problem in sewage drainage system is of concern. In observation most of the manhole’s lids were not in the settled emplacement. As most of the manhole’s lids are in the damaged condition. Because of the damaged manholes, there are chances of occurrence of accidents on the road. These damaged manholes will be hazard to the personal safety. The goal of this project is to create an effective accident-avoidance system by avoiding open manholes in large cities. Sensors such as tilt sensors are used to identify rifts and damage to manhole lids, and the information obtained is then sent to the authorities of the municipal corporation department and the councillor of the local region, who will find the manhole location. The supervision and the maintenance are done through the Internet of Things. The working and implementation of this project will be very useful to the society.
