Road Hump Records...

213

wgwwd - 17 September, 2013 | Bangalore | Roads | Action | Potholes | Infrastructure

As said in another post, I tried to create a road hump record using my basic andriod phone which just costed me 6.7k. I just mentioned cost to tell how valuable a phone can be, if it can be used constructively. 

The road humps are plotted in google maps, real time.. Also data can be saved in internet.

Now you can see a Google map of 1.8 kms sample from BDA complex to SilkBoard. 

If some Prajas come up to help, most of main roads can be hump-mapped to help ourselves and then automatically others..

and thus increasing our wgwwd index (what is that?)...

 

Your thoughts?

Compare humps !

A nice comparison is available at SmartProbe.Org. Many Roads from Japana, USA and other countries. Our own Mumbai also seen there. Bangalore has currently less data. I have added few roads. Do your bit ;)

brilliant, any way to embed here?

On lighter note : This is should be as smooth as silk(board) :)

Just create a page in Praja with following html code !

brigade road jn ditch

srinidhi - 18 September, 2013 - 06:10

was coming to office and found this huge huge crater at the residency-brigade jn..please be careful!

tried tha app too yesterday to record the road undulations..unfortunately there was less of road where I rode...the app will be only useful if there is some road to ride on..so uninstalled it!

There is an eternal jam because of bad roads at the Adarsha theatre jn on Ulsoor rd since a week now..pathetic

@srinidhi - Good start

wgwwd - 18 September, 2013 - 07:24

Thanks, and thats how it starts. It is an app for kind of survey as per app author's page. For example we can use the app to showcase the severity of humps and compare with another road.

Sad to know its uninstalled, but you gave a good try. Something is better than nothing :-D

 

 

Wov..Another road hump data added

wgwwd - 18 September, 2013 - 11:31

Good !

Another Praja(most probably)  has joined hands.

New Road hump map here.

Road covered is from Vidyaranyapura to MG Road via Mathikere-Sanky Tank-Palace Grounds-High Grounds-Raj Bhavan-Indian Express.

Road seems to be pretty bumpy...But cant comment unless we have comparative data.

Maximum hump height : 17cm ! (Near HAL)

Deepest pothole : 10cm ! (xxx)

And Max Jerk: 0.79 ( At Mathikere) . What does that mean? Click here for technical paper)

 

Note: Type of vehicle also matters ;)
