And no one thought about a device for highlighting (determining) holes on the road?

Question

Do it yourself

After a trip along almost spring plowed roads, I wondered if there was a device for warning about pits, or on what principle such a device would have to work?

Searching the Internet gave only Street Bump for ipod. But we still don’t have such a level of interaction between drivers and prosperity for a tablet/smartphone in every car.

And the illumination of the pit by the forces of the car itself would be much more efficient than working with a data server.
I would like to know about the pits a little earlier, because at speed you don’t have time to react to them. In other words, I would like to sit two meters above the ground than landing in a conventional car.

It would be interesting to learn about the possibility of recognizing the pit, for example, with a video recorder and a small pocket PC. Or a rangefinder, perhaps an ultrasonic device like parking sensors.

Perhaps it is possible to highlight the pits with paint reflecting a certain spectrum of radio waves, and in the car to have a short-range radar (50-150m) at a given frequency. It's cheaper to paint a hole than to repair it.

PS
Perhaps I was looking badly and such a technology already exists, then I will be happy with the links.

Answer 1

The idea is certainly good, I would even use this one, but knowing the roads outside the city, the device will say “You are eating in a hole, find a way!”.

Answer 2

I think it's wiser to focus on patching holes and improving the pavement than on finding them. Therefore, such devices are not sold.

Answer 3

There is such a device. It's called an SUV.

Answer 4

Put the laser that shines in a line on the torpedo and point it at the road. As soon as a piece of the line disappears - there is a hole)

Answer 5

The idea is wonderful and auto manufacturers need to knock. It will become the most demanded feature for the CIS market.

Answer 6

Turn on the fog lights, the pits become visible at a glance.
Dasha does not need to write an application.

Answer 7

There is one technology that always helps me, called "dipped beam headlights." If it doesn't work, try wiping your headlights with a wet rag or washing your car.

Answer 8

Such a device is used by amers on their military hummers for night driving. In order not to get into a surprise, there is a laser projector on the roof of the Hummer, with a blue laser scanning the radial grid. The entire terrain is visible very clearly.
