Our project

The project uses an automated micro bit-based system to sense rising water levels and elevate the bridge safely, mitigating flood risks. This project enhances flood response systems with precision, adaptability, and infrastructure safeguarding.

Our inspiration

This global goal was chosen to address the critical issue of bridge safety during flood situations. By developing an automated system that senses rising water levels and elevates the bridge, the project aims to protect lives and property while enhancing the resilience and adaptability of infrastructure against natural disasters.
