Abstract :
This paper presents a road surface defect identification system based on 3D accelerometers, GPS and video modules deployed on vehicles. The mobile platform architecture and the central data aggregation algorithm are also discussed. Because the mobile system is deployed over a large outdoor area, we also present a solution for the wireless communication coverage problem. Finally, we are highlighting the importance of the gathered information by making it available for the users using a GIS platform.
