Abstract

Finding one’s way with a map is a relatively recent phenomenon. In pre-modern times, maps were used, if at all, mainly for planning journeys in advance, not for guiding travelers on the road. The app “Road Factor”, build to run on any android platform, provides the condition of the roads in a selected city or area by tracking your GPS location. It provides data that would help our government to know the conditions of the roads in a particular area and take necessary measures accordingly. One can easily know when and how many times a particular road was modified in the past ten years. This app also facilitates easy governance and monitoring of the roads in an area. The app has a user friendly interface that allows an individual to select his state ,city and the road whose condition is to be viewed.
