I considered writing an app you would take on a car ride that would record accelerometer readings indicative of a pothole. Geotag the reading and push is anonymously to a server.
Enough events should show clusters where potholes likely exist. You would think cities would love that kind of data.
- jwoy 9mo agoThis may sound a little cynical but cities often don't like having an inventory of infrastructure problems because it creates an obligation to address it or pay for tire/rim damage if there was prior written notice of a problem. I saw this happen with sidewalk condition data as another example.
