AI-Based Platforms Developed to Improve Pothole Reporting and Repairs in India
Two innovative AI-driven platforms address persistent pothole problems in Indian cities. Bengaluru's Pothole Reporter app, created by software engineer Gaurav Sen, detects potholes and links complaints to responsible contractors using publicly available data. Meanwhile, Delhi teenager Parth Anand developed Project Sadak after his parents' accident, enabling users to report potholes, identify responsible agencies, and track repair progress. Both initiatives aim to improve road maintenance by enhancing complaint reporting and accountability across multiple regions.
