Özet

Potholes are a major cause of road accidents. In smart cities, developing a system that will help in detecting the potholes in real-time while warning the motorist before reaching that location is very important. Lightweight EfficientDet family models were proposed in the literature to detect potholes in real-time. The work is divided into two parts, first a mobile application was developed using these trained models and it can efficiently detect the potholes. Also, in the second part, a blockchain was proposed to keep a record of the location of the pothole in real-time so that it can be updated on the network. The blockchain serves as a security mechanism so that the potholes coordinates can be altered and become up to date.
