Abstract

Along the road of highway, some of the location have improper flatness causing accumulation of puddles during raining time. The interaction between the road and the vehicle is affected by these puddles which decrease the efficiency of the vehicle tyres friction on the road, in particularly severe cases, even determine the loss control of vehicle skidding, therefore compromising the driver’s and passenger’s safety. Sometimes, road management team is not able to measure the flatness of the road accurately. Hence, this project purposely to design and fabricate intelligent mobile robot for flatness inspection of the road to provide better monitoring and management on the road. The designed system is able to find out the location and the flatness of the road. This project developed the system using PIC 18F4550, the PIC microcontroller controlling the entire program system developed. The system equipped with IMU sensor that measures and reports a body's specific force, angular rate, and sometimes the magnetic field surrounding the body, using a combination of accelerometers and gyroscopes. The input to this system would be distance and flatness of the road. While the output from this system would be the collected data and information which displayed in the computer with Graphical User Interface(GUI) develop using Visual Studio 2015. With the result collected, it represented the current slope angle of the road and shows which location flatness is under standard, hence management team could carry out their management on the location.
