Road-Condition Monitoring and Classification for Smart Cities

Smart Cities require the deployment of sensing technology that periodically monitor the city resources, such as the road infrastructure. Indeed, road maintenance is considered a key element for city management. Here, we propose an in-vehicle optical monitoring system that classifies and monitors road conditions. The system consists of three main modules allowing road-condition sensing, geospatial localization, information storage and classification. The road-condition classification algorithm is not only capable of identifying potholes and bumps on the road but also of showing the degree of road damage to guide city authorities to design strategic road maintenance.
