Pothole detection from dashcam and phone sensors

MOB-02 · Original hackathon problem statement from Arventiq Labs

The problem

Road damage is reported late and unevenly, so repair crews are dispatched on complaints instead of evidence.

What to build

Create a pipeline that detects potholes from video or vibration data, geotags them and ranks repairs by severity and traffic.

Success looks like

Detection precision above 85% on collected road footage and a prioritised, map-based work list for a ward.

Suggested technologies

  • Computer vision
  • Accelerometer analysis
  • GPS tagging
  • Prioritisation
  • GIS dashboards
