-
Indian roads are bumpy
-
Intended : Speed Breakers
- Poorly painted/marked speed-breakers cause accidents : Speed breakers in India kill more people than accident do in UK, Australia
-
Unintended : Potholes
-
Potholes damage and slow down vehicles. Accidents too.
-
Road Accidents are common but response is delayed. Depends upon eye-witnesses or victims.
-
Accident prevention & alert measures exist for modern cars using sensors. Can’t be applied to existing vehicles without significant costs.
-
We present an Android app that uses the MapMyIndia API, a phone’s accelerometer and gyroscope reading and a Machine Learning model to:
-
Non-intrusively detect road accidents and alert emergency response services automatically.
-
Intelligently track and display road conditions by identifying roads with potholes and suboptimal conditions.
-
Alert drivers about upcoming speed breaker based on historic data gathered from other drivers
-
Suggest routes based not just on traffic and distance, but also on road quality.
-
Create a call to action by alerting municipalities to fix potholes.
-
Provide a framework for individual contractors to bid on re-construction tasks based on crowd-sourced pothole data.
