Abstract-Road transportation is the main form of transportation in any given region. Whereas the road damages that occur due to the natural disasters or the ill maintenance of the roads, will eventually lead to the delay and also results in the horrible travel experience, which may not be suitable in certain situations. In this paper we propose a method to detect the damages on the road surface using the videos of roads in different regions. The damages on the road surface are quantified from the video obtained using a simple algorithm. As precautionary measure, a warning message will be displayed so that the traveler can choose an alternate route. The experimental results shows that the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.Keywords-Road surface damage, potholes, warning message, damage in terms of area.
