Providence City Data is often not up to date in regards to pothole reports. Waze data concerning potholes and other road conditions is more current and updated every 2 minutes. Our web application pulls current pothole report information from the Waze API and presents this data on a map of Providence. Ultimately we hope to push this data to the City of Providence Department of Public Works, alerting them of current road conditions.
We were able to procure pothole report data and present the data in a map of the City of Providence. We were unable to obtain an API key from the City of Providence to allow our data to be reported to them. This was due, in large part, to it being the weekend; but our logic is primed and ready for this functionality to be implemented.
