GoodRoads it is the cutting edge way of monitoring road surface condition. The mobile app installed on the Android or iOS device collects the data and sends it to the datamining server which processes data and gives it to the web server visualizing it for the user. Unlike existing methods – expert evaluation and photo and lazer inspection, our method is rather cheap and scalable.
Every year ocean of money is spend for roads repairing. Thousands of roads accidents occurs by the reason of potholes and bad roads. GoodRoads provides data that could save money and even lives.
Besides the manifest functionality of showing the potholes for the user on the map, we’ve prepared the interesting statistics and genuinely innovative game element.
3. Background
More and more drivers use mobile maps
and GPS while in trip, those maps show
traffic info or roads under repair
None of those services provides road surface
condition info.
4. Background
— In some countries, for example Russia, 60% of roads don’t
conform with norms
— Statistics says, one of ten road accidents, have rise in bad
roads
— In some cases the road services simply don’t know about new
pothole, or make believe they don’t know
Drivers should be informed about road surface
condition
10. What do road authorities use

Special high-cost auto laboratories.
Expert opinion

Mobile apps
Boston Road services were developing software for
mobile devices to recognize the potholes on the road
Google Russia tried to do that also
13. Monetization
Gaining the number of users and increasing project plough-
back
Providing data to road authorities, in Russia (Ministry of
Transport), or in Finland (destia.fi)
(to save money and completely cover road surface
monitoring )
Providing data to navigation systems
Using as an geo-targeted advertising space
