Prediction and Measuring Potholes by New Jaguar Land Rover Technology

Jaguar Land Rover is creating a targeted at eradicating potholes technology.

The system is supposed to identify the location and seriousness of roadway defects. For example, it can be manhole covers, chuckholes and frost heaves among them. After the problem is detected, the system shares the data in real time through the cloud. In such a way the authorities will be helped to make needed fixing. The company is developing the technology with Coventry County in Great Britain now. They are going to find out how all this can work.

There is the potential of this latest connected-car characteristic to save serious amounts of money for motorists since they can omit flat tyre, crashes and car damage.

Being aware of a problematic road section, the driver is able to avoid it or slow down while traversing a very insidious spot to get rid o a trouble. Moreover, the vehicle can adjust its suspension to soften the blow.

Range Rover Evoque and Discovery Sport offerings which received MagneRide are also equipped with a whole line of sensors. These sensors give them an opportunity to profile the road and, in such a way, identify the problems mentioned earlier. Such sensors should be a great help to autonomous cars.
