Integration of Smart Phone-Based Pavement Roughness Data Collection Tool with Asset Management System

Record Type: UTC

This project will combine traditional survey and data collection vehicle based pavement condition survey techniques with a cutting-edge, Android-type smart phone-based pavement roughness mapping application to accomplish short- and long-term objectives related to the implementation of software tools developed in previous NEXTRANS projects. The short-term objectives include calibration and validation of newly developed links between pavement cracking predictions to the prediction of pavement roughness and other forms of deterioration (crack spalling, potholes) as a function of pavement maintenance, traffic and climate. The distress predictions are then used to assess vehicle wear-and-tear and associated user costs.
