Boston Street Bump pothole reporting

Street Bump was a project organised by the City of Boston, Massachusetts, that aimed to help residents improve their neighbourhood streets that volunteers could use to collect road condition data on their smartphones. Launched in 2011, the app automatically collected road condition information using smartphone accelerometers and GPS , without the need for human intervention.
