The development of smart road hazard reporting mobile application (Road4U) / Aiman Ahmad Ramizu

Road Hazard is an object or obstruction such as potholes, uneven road, and many more. Every year there has been an increase of accident due to road hazard as there is an increase of vehicles on the road. Currently there is a lack of mobile application that allows user to be notified when approaching a road hazard and an application to share a reported road hazard between users. Therefore, “Road4U” Smart Road Hazard Reporting Mobile Application is developed to identify and alert user of the nearby road hazards. The objective of this project is to identify the requirements, to design and develop “Road4U” mobile application for reporting road hazards. The scope of this project mainly focuses on the road users of Selangor areas. This project adapts the Mobile Application Development Life Cycle (MADLC) up to the testing phase for the development. The main features for the application are real-time tracking, push notification, real-time database, and a smart reporting feature. The application allows user to easily report road hazard they encountered, share it with other user and even notify the users upon nearing a road hazard that has been reported. The mobile application is tested using System Usability Scale (SUS) to understand the effectiveness and usability of the mobile application. For future improvement, it is proposed for the “Road4U” Smart Road Hazard Reporting Mobile Application to be developed in the iOS platform to increase the compatibility with apple devices.
