        abstract = {The increasing number of road accidents attributed to potholes has become a critical concern in today’s rapidly developing world. This paper presents an innovative Automatic Pothole Detection and Alert System designed for smart vehicles, particularly electric vehicles  leveraging advanced motor and battery technologies. The proposed system integrates multiple sensors, including ultrasonic sensors, accelerometers, stereo cameras, and Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, to detect potholes in real-time.
The system addresses the urgent need for enhanced road safety by providing drivers with timely alerts about potential hazards. The ultrasonic sensor detects potholes and road humps by measuring their depth and dimensions, while the accelerometer monitors the vehicle's motion to identify sudden changes indicative of road irregularities. The stereo camera captures visual data, further validating the presence of potholes.},
