Road condition survey from phone sensors
Use a phone's accelerometer to find potholes and rough roads, and map where repair is needed first.
The brief
Road surveys by specialist vehicles are costly and rare. Use a phone's accelerometer and GPS during a drive to detect potholes and measure roughness, map the worst stretches, and rank them for repair by roughness and traffic. Good looks like: potholes detected against a hand-marked drive, a roughness score per 100 metres, and a priority list for a municipal engineer.
What you will build
- Record accelerometer and GPS data on a drive
- Filter and align the signals
- Detect pothole events
- Compute a roughness score per segment
- Map and rank segments for repair
- Validate against a hand-marked drive
