1. A method for determining the location of a road distress, comprising: measuring, by a mobile sensor, a distress data for a road section, wherein the distress data comprises a distress time component and a distress action component; identifying a relevant traffic data for the road section, the relevant traffic data comprising a traffic time component that corresponds to the distress time component; calculating a probability of a road distress on the road section based on the distress data and relevant traffic data; and responsive to the calculated probability exceeding a predetermined threshold probability, generating an alert identifying the road section; wherein: the road distress comprises at least one of a hole, a swell, a rock, and debris; the distress data pertains to a first lane in the road section, and the traffic data pertains to a second lane in the road section, the first lane being adjacent to the second lane; the distress data comprises a rapid deviation in an x-y plane followed by a rapid return to an initial trajectory for a vehicle in the first lane; and the traffic data comprises a lack of any vehicles in the second lane at the traffic time component that corresponds to the distress time component.
