• Abstract:
  This project investigates the performance of a smartphone-based road surface condition (RSC) monitoring system called AVL-Genius. The system uses a smartphone to capture images of the road surface along a route and automatically classifies each image into one of several distinct RSC classes. It can also generate route level RSC statistics that can be used for bare pavement reporting. This report documents the main outcome of the project, including an overview of various RSC monitoring technologies, a detailed description of the field test, and a comprehensive analysis of the test data.
