Development of a Road Warning Monitoring System by Deployment of Sensors Network and Reactive Signaling

Abstract

This paper describes a system for monitoring roads with sensors network deployed along a path to convey alerts through a web server, in order to inform about routes conditions. The system is composed with wireless cameras, reactive signaling and a website to communicate drivers if routes changes happen, e.g., whether due to an emergency or highway maintenance. Data conveyed is processed by algorithms for a system administrator to set a detour or road closing, depending scenarios faced.
