Companion app for Beton Web
Roads are an important mode of transport in India. India has one of the largest road networks in the world, with about 59 lakh km of road length. With such a large network of roads in India, Potholes have become a major problem. There has been a significant increase in accidents that occur on the road because of these Potholes and road safety is very less, since these life-threatening potholes never get filled. The risk of vehicular damage is also a concern. All this is because the government failed to maintain and repair roads. People tend to just live with these potholes, instead of reporting it.
An online platform can be developed where the masses can easily visualize and contribute to lowering the rate of these potholes. Here, people can easily report potholes, in a few simple steps and earn rewards for the same. While Google Maps has drastically improved in charting Indian roads, it still doesn’t have information about dents and potholes in the road, neither does it provide you with a feature to report these problems directly to the government. This is what Beton is trying to overcome.
