Abstract: A two-wheeler-based intelligent road anomaly detection and infrastructure analytics system is disclosed for identifying, classifying, and monitoring potholes and related road surface defects using physics-driven telemetry analysis. The system comprises a standalone vehicle-mounted telemetry unit incorporating an inertial measurement sensor, gyroscopic sensing, and a GPS module configured to capture synchronized vibration and geolocation data during vehicle movement. A telemetry acquisition architecture optimized for two-wheeler electrical environments utilizes stabilized power delivery through Li-ion battery arrangements and DC-DC voltage regulation to minimize electrical noise and improve sensing reliability. The system further includes a processing pipeline configured to detect vertical acceleration events and classify potholes using negative-g wheel-drop characteristics that distinguish potholes from speed breakers and other road irregularities. False positives are reduced through speed-aware suppression mechanisms that ignore anomaly events below predefined vehicle speed thresholds. Sensor data quality is improved through a multi-stage telemetry validation funnel that filters records based on GPS signal quality, synchronization integrity, and telemetry latency constraints. The disclosed platform additionally provides automated pothole severity labeling using physics-based vibration thresholds, thereby eliminating the need for manual annotation during training data generation. Processed telemetry data is aggregated into a geospatial analytics platform capable of comparing ride logs collected over different time periods to visualize pothole progression, monitor temporal road deterioration, and prioritize infrastructure maintenance activities. The system enables scalable, low-cost, real-time road condition monitoring using widely deployable two- wheeler telemetry infrastructure.
