Sensor Based Pothole Detection System

Many developing countries like India continuously strive to improve the quality of arterial network- roads of the country, but to do this effectively and efficiently they lack real time information on road health. With real-time information, they would be able to instantly plan, prioritize, and perform the road maintenance work. This would drastically bring down the number of accidents. A priority-based maintenance plan would help the civic authorities in sanctioning funds to repair the damaged high traffic roads at the earliest Our endeavour in this project is to detect potholes using accelerometers mounted on four-wheeler vehicles through comparative analysis of data. It is followed by classification of potholes and mapping of the location on a GUI based Android Application which can be made available for public use, providing information about the location and severity of potholes in real-time.
