As we know GIS is a system that helps to keep data storage and analysis. By GIS, road damage level can be classified and clustenzed by using GIS. For data collection. Mobile Data Collection Apps is used. This Apps is freely downloaded in Play store and Apps store. Once data was taken in real time by using a smartphone, it will be saved in Cloud GIS. Besides, satellite image Spot 6 is used to performed image-supervised classification. The results will be shown by several map layout that contains road damage.
