Pavement

プロジェクト舗装は、自転車のための都市で舗装品質をマップしようとする試みです。

Project Pavement is an attempt to map pavement quality in cities using a bicycle and a smartphone accelerometer. The data is collected by members of the community and the software is 100% open source.

The safety and comfort of cyclists is highly sensitive to pavement quality. Roads in bad condition can cause flat tires and other damage to bikes. Cyclists may swerve into the line of traffic and put themselves at risk when trying to avoid potholes and fissures.

The objective of Project Pavement is to give city-dwelling cyclists the data they need to plan safe and enjoyable routes as well as to make transparent to urban planners the condition and popularity of streets as bike routes.

• Measures road surface roughness when phone is mounted to bicycle handlebars

• View measurements online

• Tracks how many miles you've mapped and your global ranking

• Recorded data doesn't contain any identifying information

• 100% open source
