BacheHunter
A mobile app that automatically detects potholes using your phone's accelerometer while you drive. No manual reports. No photos. Just drive — the app maps the potholes for you and feeds a real-time community map.
Asunción's streets have no data
Asunción has no official, up-to-date pothole map. Drivers lose 15–20 minutes daily on detours. Suspension repairs average 2 million guaraníes per incident. Municipal budgets are spent without data to prioritize where to intervene first.
Road conditions are everyone's problem and nobody's data. BacheHunter turns every driver into a sensor.
Drive
Open the app and go about your day. Your phone's accelerometer passively detects impacts and anomalous vibrations. Works in cars, motorcycles or bikes.
Map
Each detection is geotagged and uploaded to the community map. The map shows pothole density by zone and severity levels. Real-time data, verified by the community.
Impact
Aggregated data generates priority maps for municipalities. Drivers receive real-time alerts. Gamification with leaderboards and achievements drives sustained participation.
Passive accelerometer detection — zero user intervention
Real-time community map with density and severity layers
In-route alerts for drivers

Priority data for municipal planning
Works on cars, motorcycles and bikes
Civic data from the ground up
BacheHunter is designed for Asunción drivers who want to contribute to better streets just by driving. Also for municipal planners who need georeferenced, up-to-date data to prioritize repairs, and public transit operators who need to identify risk zones.
Every trip generates data. Every data point is a piece of the puzzle no municipality could assemble alone.
