Original abstract

The road surface is subject to various types of challenges/problems that can affect its integrity, safety, and overall functionality. The increasing reliance upon Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) has provided a new opportunity to use innovative approaches to monitor and address these issues with road infrastructure. To this end, this paper presents an Internet of Things (IoT) platform for the full evaluation of road surfaces utilizing Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) data. The proposed platform will utilize a network of MEMS sensors located at specific locations (i.e., roadways) to provide real-time data on multiple parameters, such as vibration, temperature, and strain. The IoT platform will be the framework for aggregating and processing the MEMS data. An artificial intelligence (AI)-based fault detection system will be utilized to process and analyze the data collected by the MEMS sensors, detecting anomalies that indicate deterioration of road surface conditions (e.g., potholes/spalling) or other structural defects. Machine learning algorithms will be used to analyze historical databases and train the system to autonomously detect/classify faults with a high degree of accuracy. The fault detection system will utilize a combination of feature extraction, pattern recognition, and anomaly detection methodologies to assess the condition of road surfaces. The implementation of AI will provide two important benefits: (1) increased accuracy of fault detection and (2) the ability to implement predictive maintenance through timely interventions that will reduce the likelihood of further deterioration.
