Abstract

In recent years, the surge in population growth has exacerbated numerous challenges for both humans and the environment, including issues like inadequate infrastructure and frequent occurrences of waterlogging in underpasses. During heavy rainfall, underpasses often become inundated, posing significant risks to passing vehicles and exacerbating traffic congestion. This is primarily due to ineffective drainage systems and flawed designs for diverting rainwater away from the underpasses. To address these pressing issues, this paper proposes an IoT-based solution aimed at monitoring and managing heavy traffic within underpasses. The primary objective is to establish a comprehensive framework capable of continuously monitoring the water levels within underpasses. By leveraging IoT technology, this framework can activate warning signs and implement traffic control measures in real-time to mitigate the risks posed by waterlogging and alleviate traffic congestion. This innovative approach not only offers a proactive solution to the immediate challenges faced by underpasses but also lays the foundation for a more sustainable and efficient urban infrastructure management system. Through the integration of IoT sensors and intelligent control mechanisms, this framework promises to enhance the resilience of underpasses to adverse weather conditions while optimizing traffic flow, ultimately contributing to safer and more livable urban environments . Keywords — Internet of Things, sensors, Wi-Fi module, LCD, cloud architecture.
