Crowd-sourcing based android application for structural health monitoring and data analytics of roads using cloud computing

Abstract

In this paper, we propose Crowd-Sourcing based Android Application to detect damaged roads and generate a report which will assist the vehicle driver for safer driving by providing an early warning system to warn the driver of any abrupt discontinuities on the road. We have designed and implemented a model using layered approach that consists of sensor data collected from the users, cloud based data analytics and a response model for the mobile which is integrated with Google Maps. This paper discusses about the review for previous works in the related domain, our proposed architecture, its implementation, obtained results and its detailed inference.
