Pothole Patrol: An autonomous Vehicle for Locating and Repairing Potholes

Many factors, including weather conditions, temperature, and significantly heavy weights caused by vehicles can introduce flaws in the pavement. As a result, this creates several cracks or cavities in the roadway which could lead to damages to motor vehicles and an increase in the rate of road accidents. In this paper, we introduce a practical solution that includes an autonomous vehicle that locates and repairs potholes that are found on streets. The proposed system carries out several processes including detection, filling, and compacting processes. The proposed system also incorporates two software interfaces, one to be used by the user, and another one that is operated by the administrator. The proposed system could lead to the minimization of government funds spent on repair tasks, environmental dangers, and current labor-intensive measures.
