Pothole Detection System

“Pothole detection system” which assists the driver or rider in avoiding potholes on the roads by giving prior warnings. In This system it uses accelerometer sensor of android Smartphone for detection of potholes and GPS for plotting the location of potholes on Google maps. While designing the pothole detection algorithm we have assumed some threshold values on Z-axis. The threshold values are set by trial and error method. Potholes detected by the users are displayed on the map and number of potholes is calculated for the path given by the user.
