Real time road mapping for the driving safety purposes

This research has been conducted because of the critical road conditions in the area of the Almaty region. This region is highly influenced by the Trans-Ili Alatau mountain branch of the Tian Shan Mountains and extends from China and Kyrgyzstan into the Almaty Region, along its southern border with Kyrgyzstan. With the mountainous road conditions, the weather condition of (+35° to - 25°C) is an added additional necessity for extra precautions. These led to this research work, to monitor the road and broadcast the vital information to the drivers. To achieve this goal, a device has been designed and implemented in the car. This device is capable of collecting the road conditions data set like ditches, potholes, tubercles, icy conditions, black ice, gully erosion, with location information and/or any human interrupted specific data. To visualize this information the standard Google Map's API has been used. The readable Google Map app will create the final information which is real time driving information for the driver. The effectiveness of this system will improve driving safety and increase situational awareness on the roads. A byproduct of this system can be used by the communication ministry for the sessional maintenance of the road communication systems of the country.
