Description

We undertook a research and development project with the aim of improving the commute experience in Karachi by detecting potholes. Our team developed a customized data-collection application for Android devices to gather vibration data during a user's commute. Using a cloud-hosted machine learning model, we achieved an 85% accuracy rate in identifying areas with poor road conditions and stored the pothole locations in a real-time database. We also developed a Flask API to allow for the visualization of this data on a Flutter website, along with other useful documentation.
