The Problem

  1. Indian roads are bumpy
    • Intended : Speed Breakers
      Poorly painted/marked speed-breakers cause accidents
  • 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.
    • Require apparatus such as sensors & IoT
    • Can’t be applied to existing vehicles without significant costs.

The Solution

An Android app that uses

  • MapMyIndia API,
  • a phone’s accelerometer and gyroscope readings
  • and an ML model...

to perform the following

  • Non-intrusively detect road accidents
  • Alert emergency response services automatically.
  • Alert family and emergency contacts automatically.

  • Intelligently track and display *road conditions *

  • Identify roads with potholes and suboptimal conditions.

  • Creates a Call to Action by alerting municipalities.

  • Inform individual contractors to bid on re-construction tasks.

  • Alert drivers about upcoming speed breakers based on historic data gathered from other drivers

  • Suggest routes based not just on traffic and distance... but also on road quality.

Who needs this

  • Ola/Uber - Route suggestions
  • Municipalities - Pothole tracking
  • Individual Contractors - Contracts to fix roads
  • Drivers (Janta) - Route suggestions, Speed breaker and Pothole warnings
