Recent studies have shown that road surface monitoring is essential for the municipal corporations as well as for travelers for choosing the best road possible. Such schemes provide the comfort and security to the vehicle travelers. This paper presents a vibration based approach for automatic detection of potholes and speed breakers along with their co-ordinates. In this approach, a database is maintained for each road, which is made available to the public with the help of global database or through a portal. Potholes and speed breakers are detected along with their severity using android's built-in accelerometer. The results of the proposed approach are tested over a 4 km flat road and compared to manual inspection of pothole and speed breakers on the same considered road. The accuracy of the proposed approach came out to be 93.75% for detection of potholes and speed breakers. This approach is cost efficient and very effective for road surface monitoring.
