Abstract
At present, we are living in an era which is known as “Information and Technology Era”. We can make our existing highways smart by upgrading it by sensors, some electricity generating mechanisms , etc. But, what is the need of doing that? You may have noticed, roads are really dumb right now. They’re expensive to maintain, and generally can’t do much besides allowing above-ground transportation. This project which is named as “Smart Highway System” is basically an integration of two practical aspects which are Energy Generation through Speed Breakers and Accident Prevention on Hairpin Curve Roads. If we observe, whenever a vehicle is passed over a speed breaker a lot of jerking pressure is being exerted between the tyres and speed breaker which is normally wasted. This jerking pressure can be converted to a significant amount of electricity by a Simple Roller Mechanism which is an unconventional and eco friendly source too. And the second aspect deals with the problem faced on Hairpin Curve Roads (U-shaped roads). Whenever two vehicles are moving on either sides of a U-shaped road, they are being unaware of approaching towards each other. This causes a head-on collision between the vehicles at the apex point. So, this situation can be prevented by using a special arrangement of Infrared Sensors making both the vehicles aware of themselves while approaching each Abstract—: At present, we are living in an era which is known as “Information and Technology Era”.
