These include major applications such as self-driving cars, intelligent traffic control, etc. supportive solutions for drivers with digital maps, anti drowsiness devices, automatic parking, alert cameras for speed and traffic signs, etc. This paper presents an early warning system for shock points on the road surface, the road positions that when the vehicle runs at high speed across it, the vehicle will bounce. This will endanger the occupants and cause the vehicle to break down quickly. The causes may be potholes, elephant potholes or the points connecting the road with the bridge, unusually subsided road points, etc. Such warning systems are especially useful when the vehicle is running at high speed on long roads or highways. Early warning helps drivers proactively slow down when receiving an alert from the system via a mobile application. The system allows user contributions for more updated and reliable information. Managers can also use this information to plan repair or maintenance of routes.
