Abstract - Speed Breaker detection and tracking are widely applied to intelligent image and video surveillance. The goal is to
detect Speed Breaker in a scene, localize them in the image and, if possible, infer their exact articulations. This research addresses
the deep learning–based techniques. By using the You Only Look Once version 2 (YOLOv2) detector and deep convolutional neural
network (CNN) we detect the objects obstructing while driving the vehicle. Poor road conditions like cracks, potholes, open sewer
caps, and extreme road conditions can cause inconvenience to passengers, damage to vehicles, and accidents. Detecting those
obstacles has become relevant due to the rise of the autonomous vehicle. Although previous studies used various sensors and
applied different image processing techniques, performance is still significantly lacking, especially when compared to the
tremendous leaps in performance with computer vision and deep learning. Hence, the object detection technique (YOLO) will be
used. We do not make a selection or technique best method and optimal because the best technique depends on the needs, concerns
and existing environment. The goal of object detection is to detect all instances of objects from a known class, such as people or
faces in an image. Typically, only a small number of instances of the object are present in the image, but there is a very large
number of possible locations and scales at which they can occur.

1. INTRODUCTION
The quality of road is crucial to people who drive. In some areas, drivers need to be cautious because damaged speed
breaker and road humps have been proven to cause catastrophes, especially during the rainy season. Detecting humps would
allow vehicles to issue warnings so drivers can slow down and avoid them (or the vehicle itself can adjust settings to avoid
them), minimize the impact, and make the ride smooth.
Speed breaker detection is about sensing the road ahead of an autonomous vehicle. Nonetheless, studies and research on
road-surface damage are still few. Several of them use traditional methods, with sensors and expensive equipment to label
images in a classification task, but not to detect dam- age coordinates. Recently, object detection using end-to-end deep learning
has been reported to outperform traditional methods. Costly sensors, battery life, computation power, and the complexity of data
integration have been reduced by simply relying on imagery input to detect objects. In this study, we train and evaluate object
detection with You Only Look Once version 2 (YOLOv2) that has a state-of-the-art convolutional neural network (CNN) at its
core.[1]
Literature survey describes various techniques used in the work. Identifying the current literature in related domain problem
and identifying the techniques that have been developed and present the various advantages and limitation of these methods
used extensively in literature.
A) Detection of Potholes Using a Deep Convolutional Neural Network - Although previous studies used various sensors
and applied different image processing techniques, performance is still significantly lacking, especially when compared to the
tremendous leaps in performance with computer vision and deep learning. This research addresses this issue with deep
learning–based techniques. We applied the You Only Look Once version 2 (YOLOv2) detector and pro- pose a deep
convolutional neural network (CNN) based on YOLOv2 with a different architecture. Despite a limited amount of learning data
and the challenging nature of pothole images, our proposed architecture is able to obtain a significant increase in
performance over YOLOv2 (from 60.14 to 82.43 average precision).[1]
B) Real Time Detection of Speed Hump/Bump and Distance Estimation with Deep Learning using GPU and ZED
Stereo Camera - Most of the humps in India are n o t being constructed and maintained according to the public safety
guidelines of Indian Road Congress (IRC) i.e., IRC099, which is resulting in damage to the vehicles, severe discomfort to the
driver and even causing loss of direction control which is leading to fatalities. Very few methods were discussed in literature
for un-marked speed hump/bump detection. We propose a method that detects and informs the driver about the upcoming
un-marked and marked speed hump/bump in real time using deep learning techniques and gives the distance the vehicle is
away from it using stereo- vision approaches.[2]
