City road roughness is only monitored once every 2 to 5 years.
The Solution:
A constantly updating database of road conditions!
...and the Details:
In Ottawa, road quality is measured infrequently, using expensive specialized equipment. Depending on the amount of use, they're checked every 2-5 years, which leaves lots of time for road deterioration, especially with the freeze-thaw cycles of Canadian winters!
As many drivers are well aware, the quality of a road greatly affects both your comfort and vehicle.
Our vision is to crowd-source road data, allowing drivers to help the city and their fellow drivers by collecting data with our small sensor modules.
We've created a platform of sensor-driven devices that collect and catalogue road condition data, sending it to a central publicly-available database.
Our product helps detect and respond faster to deteriorating roads, to improve ride safety and quality.
Our data is anonymous, secure, and available to anyone through both our website's Search Page. Check it out to see first-hand how rough your most-traveled roads are!
