Low Water Crossings: The Hidden Danger

Abstract

Abstract— This invention relates to the field of electronics engineering and mechanical engineering more particularly to reduce accidents along with preventing operators from driving a motorized vehicle in watercourses overflow conditions. Nearly 1/2 of all flood deaths rise in vehicles. Most of those deaths take area while humans power into flooded dual carriageway dips or low drainage areas. A low-water crossing is wherein a road, without a bridge, dips through a usually dry creek mattress or drainage area. Motorists who try to pass those flooded low-water crossings are setting themselves, their vehicles, and any other occupants of their vehicles at deadly risk. In a preferred embodiment, once the system determines the speed of the water flow & depth of the water flow then it starts to give signals in the form of red for danger and green for neutral conditions. On the basis of this driver, a person can think about crossing the flooded bridge. Keywords— Bridge, River, Drowning, Overflow, Rainfall, Flood Problems, India
