| Summary: | Presented herein is a study on the utilization of low-cost technology for detection of roadway pavement anomalies (patches and potholes), by use of sensors on smartphones and of automobilesÕ on-board diagnostic (OBD-II) devices for the collection and analysis of vibration-related data while vehicles are in movement. The mobile data collection kit consists of a triaxial accelerometer, a gyroscope and a global positioning sensor. The smartphone-based data collection is complimented with robust regression analysis and a bagged-trees classification model for the classification of pavement anomalies. The proposed system is readily available, low-cost and adequately accurate, and can be utilized in crowd-sourced applications for pavement monitoring. Further, the proposed methodology has been field-tested, exhibiting detection accuracy levels higher than 90% for pavement patches, and it is currently expanded to include larger datasets and a bigger number of pavement defect types. |
