SAFER ROADS, TOGETHER
HodosThe road maps itself.
Hodos picks up likely potholes and rough stretches as you travel. Each journey adds another piece to a clearer picture of the road.
Explore hazards backed by actual journeys.
Make local roads better, together.

HOW IT WORKS / 001Just go where
Just go where
you were going.
Maps usually need someone to report a problem. Hodos learns from the movement of phones already travelling those roads.
Switch on mapping
Enable automatic mapping in the Android app, then carry on with your normal journeys.
Feel the road
On-device motion analysis finds likely potholes, rough patches and speed bumps without recording raw traces online.
Trust the evidence
Repeated reports help corroborate potential hazards. People can also report that a road was repaired.
WHAT MATTERS / 002Useful in public.
Useful in public.
Careful in private.
01
Raw motion data stays on the phone.
Hodos submits compact road observations, not continuous sensor recordings.
02
One report isn't the whole story.
Hazards appear after repeated observations. You can also report when a road has been repaired.
03
Built in the open.

OUR IMPACTA clearer picture
A clearer picture
of your roads.
The map brings together observations from everyday journeys, with feedback from people who use the same roads.
A few things worth knowing.
Does Hodos track my entire journey?
Motion analysis happens on your phone. Hodos sends compact geolocated road observations when it detects a potential hazard; your raw accelerometer stream stays on the device.
Can I use the map without turning on detection?
Yes. You can explore already confirmed road hazards without enabling automatic mapping.
When does a hazard appear on the map?
Hodos checks for repeated observations from different app installations before showing a hazard. You can also report when one has been repaired.
Is Hodos available for iPhone?
Hodos is Android-first. The current release and source code are available on GitHub.
