It is generally agreed that the friction between a tire and a wet pavement (skid resistance) is controlled by the surface texture characteristics. Therefore, by measuring the relevant parameters describing texture, or by measuring a physical process dependent on texture, regression techniques can be used to relate skid resistance to the chosen texture parameter or process. Two scales of texture are of particular importance: microtexture (small-scale asperities) and macrotexture (large-scale asperities). This paper describes work performed to: (1) review candidate macrotexture and microtexture measurement methods that can be made at highway speeds (at or about 64 km/h [40 mph]), which are presently used or have potential for use in pavement texture measurement; (2) design and build a prototype of the most promising method; and (3) evaluate the effects of pavement surface texture on skid resistance. A prototype noncontact vision system that makes texture measurements at highway speeds was developed, and several improvements were made to upgrade the system to provide an improved prototype. Both hardware and software enhancements have yielded a texture measurement system that can obtain pavement macrotexture data in a fast, efficient, and reliable way.

In our daily life we can see so many road accidents are increasing daily especially the bike accidents are increasing more and more because of so many things like high speed,drunk and drive ,riders not using helmet ,using mobile while driving and due to the late of ambulance in all these cases riders are not taking care of there lives and they are loosing there lives so we are going to introduce a "MULTI ACCESS HELMET" which will solve some of the above problems and we can reduce the accident rate by using this project. The essential purpose of this errand is to save a couple of presences of the people.This venture incorporate a few sensors like gas sensor ,ultrasonic sensor and vibration sensor .the gas sensor is utilized to recognize the liquor taken by the rider on the off chance that the liquor level is more prominent than the limit, at that point the ringer will be on and furthermore the red light will likewise on which show the threat sign and the rider won't ready to where the cap right now, on the off chance that he isn't wearing the head protector, at that point the bicycle additionally won't begin . Ultrasonic sensor will perceive the thing if the article is recognized in the more drawn out partition, by then also the chime will on and the red drove is on, it shows the rider to wear defensive top right currently bike won't begin.Vibration sensor is utilized to detect the vibration if the bicycle contacts the ground the recurrence scope of vibration increments on the off chance that it builds, at that point the area of the vehicle is followed utilizing the gsm and the message is sent to closest emergency clinics utilizing gps module..

The construction machinery moving speed is an essential variable to identify its attractive performance. To realize construction machinery real-time and adaptive control, it is necessary to measure the machinery actual speed. But the traditional measurement method is not precise enough and costly too much. To search a new method, the high-speed linear CCDcamera is used to collect the road surface gray image. A machinery vision model is set up for the random road surface texture. Using cross-correlation algorithm two frame continuous image pixels are figured out. The construction machinery moving speed can be counted out by analyzing the vision model projection relationship and the two frame continuous image time.The feasibleness and precision of this method are proved by experiments.
