A Smart Flood-Responsive Bridge with Automated Elevation and Alert System

Abstract

Floods cause significant loss of life and property, often impacting infrastructure like bridges. This paper presents a smart bridge system equipped with water-level sensors, Arduino microcontrollers, and servo motors to autonomously lift the bridge deck during floods. The system includes real-time alerts via GSM and Wi-Fi modules to notify authorities. This proactive disaster mitigation tool enhances safety, offers real-time monitoring, and is designed for deployment in flood-prone regions.
