Self-Calibrating Sensing
Continuous Median Absolute Deviation (MAD) envelope tracking automatically adapts to heavy bus leaf springs, passenger cars, or scooters.
NO MANUAL CONFIGURATIONGLOBAL ROAD SENSING
Know the road.
Anywhere in the world.
Hodos turns everyday phone observations into high-precision road condition maps. No manual logging, no phone-buzzing distraction, and zero privacy compromise. Just drive, ride, or cycle—the road maps itself.
Production release 1.2.0. Clean, autonomous road detection on any paved or unpaved route worldwide.

01 / HOW IT WORKSPure motion.
Pure motion.
Zero distraction.
Road conditions evolve every day after rains, frost, and heavy vehicle traffic. Hodos extracts pavement intelligence quietly in the background without needing you to touch your phone.
Corroborated Impact Filter
A single bump never publishes a defect. Hodos requires multiple independent passes and distinct devices before a hazard is confirmed.

05 / QUESTIONS
Good to know.
How does Hodos detect road hazards automatically?
Hodos runs a lightweight background service that evaluates continuous accelerometer and gyroscope data with Median Absolute Deviation (MAD) envelope tracking. When you pass over a pothole or severe bump, the sudden impulse is recorded and verified without manual input.
How does Hodos prevent false alarms from vehicle vibrations?
Continuous noise-floor tracking dynamically adjusts sensitivity. Continuous chassis vibration from buses, trucks, or motorcycles automatically raises the baseline filter so only true road surface shocks trigger an observation.
How is the road data licensed? Can commercial fleets take it?
The client app and core algorithms are open-source under the MIT License. However, the crowdsourced road defect dataset is protected under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license. Citizens, universities, and public communities can explore and download it freely for non-commercial use. Commercial operators, logistics fleets, and ride-hailing platforms cannot exploit or resell the data without an enterprise commercial license.
Does Hodos vibrate my phone when hitting a bump?
No. Haptic vibration is disabled so your phone stays quiet in your pocket or vehicle mount without distracting you.
