A Participatory Sensing Approach to Characterize Ride Quality
(2014)
Rough roads increase vehicle operation and road maintenance costs. Consequently, transportation agencies spend a
significant portion of their budgets on ride-quality characterization to forecast maintenance needs. The ...
Inertial Sensor Sample Rate Selection for Ride Quality Measures
(2014)
The Road Impact Factor is a measure of ride-quality. It is derived from the average inertial
response of vehicles to road roughness. Unlike the International Roughness Index, the most
common measure, the road impact ...
Campus Parking Supply Impacts on Transportation Mode-Choice
(2014)
Parking demand is a significant land-use problem in campus planning. The parking
policies of universities and large corporations with facilities located in small urban areas
shape the character of their campuses. These ...
Precision Bounds of Pavement Deterioration Forecasts from Connected Vehicles
(2014)
Transportation agencies rely on models to predict when pavements will deteriorate to a condition or ride-index threshold that triggers maintenance actions. The accuracy and precision of such forecasts are directly proportional ...
A Connected Vehicle Approach for Pavement Roughness Evaluation
(2014)
Connected vehicles present an opportunity to monitor pavement condition continuously by
analyzing data from vehicle-integrated position sensors and accelerometers. The current
practice of characterizing and reporting ...
Precision Bounds of Pavement Distress Localization with Connected Vehicle Sensors
(2014)
Continuous, network-wide monitoring of pavement performance will significantly reduce
risks and provide an adequate volume of timely data to enable accurate maintenance forecasting.
Unfortunately, transportation agencies ...
