Road Condition Alert App

Other day I was riding my scooter on 100 ft road, Indira Nagar. As I sped across the open road, I got a real jolt! On this smooth road, there was a big gaping hole. Somehow, I managed to cling to the fragile handle bar for my life, and fortunately the scooter I was riding obeyed to my death grip.

Well, this jolt did it’s trick. I thought of a pothole alert system which would be relayed to drivers. So, how can application work.
First, a person or group of people in the network would make an entry of the size and location of the pothole or a nasty road bump or a bad patch of road.
Second, when the driver opens the app and rides, he or she gets an alert.
Bad road ahead or a pothole ahead ( 300 mts)

What’s the need for a Mobile App For Drivers?

Need proof… Just drive across Bangalore to know how the state of affairs of road. There’s no way a driver can ride with peace of mind. In every turn or sub road, there’s a surprise waiting for the driver. For example, the road in front of  ASC Centre was recently laid, but the road has very bad holes which can throw a motorist from the seat.

Such an app could be used by BMTC buses, cab drivers, private vehicles, etc. This app could be used in other cities, highways, and it could be a place where drivers can get info about the road condition, terrain, traffic flow, best time to travel, etc.

Here’s another app idea to track the pothole in Bangalore city.
