 Introduction

Manholes are chambers along the sewer lines for providing

access into them. They are used to carry out inspection, cleaning
and removing obstruction in the sewer line.

Manhole covers are round in shape because of the following

reasons:
 A round manhole cover cannot fall through its circular
opening.
 Round covers don’t need to be rotated or precisely aligned
when placed them on the openings.
 It is easily rolled and moved.
 It is easier to dig a circular hole

In recent years, the theft of manhole covers for financial

reasons has become more common. This has led to many
problems such as car damages, possible terrorist attack, toxic
substances etc.

Every year many people die because of open manhole

especially small children.Our project aims to rescue people who
have fallen in the manhole at the earliest by informing concerned
authorities.
 Literature Review

Manhole management is very important and secure management

of manhole is necessary in smart cities. In this literature review, study
of research papers related to smart manhole is presented.

Muragesh SK and Santhosha Rao [1] System Created by them adopts

three way alert systems at the managing station, which include LCD
display, route map and speaker. They monitored manholes using
sensors. If drainage gets blocked and water overflows, and if manhole
lid is opens, it is sensed by the sensors, then that sensor sends
information via transmitter which is located in that area to the
corresponding managing station.
 Problem Statement

This mini-project aims to develop an IOT based safe manhole

system which will rescue people who have fallen in the manhole at
the earliest by generating an alarm through the buzzer as well as
sending sms to the concerned authorities.
