    The document proposes a method to identify potholes and road surface anomalies using sensors in taxis. Accelerometers and GPS would be used to capture road condition data as the taxis drive routes covering thousands of kilometers. The sensor and computing equipment would be installed in the taxis and wirelessly transmit the road data to a central server. Various methods are explored to accurately label and identify anomalies in the sensor data, including comparing data from different sensor placements and manually labeling sample data. The goal is to use the taxi fleet as mobile sensors to efficiently collect comprehensive road condition data at large scale.

    Identify potholes and other severe road surface anomalies using sensors
    Accelerometers GPS

    Millions spent on civil infrastructure, yet people are unsatisfied Expensive lawsuits and damage claims Limited budget to fix roads

    It will help to know which roads need fixing

    Requires mobility to solve


    How to get data about bad roads Static road sensors are not helpful

    How to obtain ground truth

    Embedded computer fixed in the dash-board of the car Communication link with a Server
    Opportunistic, delay-tolerant link dPipe Free Wi-Fi or Cellular

    7 local taxis
    Fits well with the mobility requirements Provide good spatial coverage

    Total distance covered was 9730 km over few weeks


    174 km was covered with ten or more repeated

    passes

    Accelerometer Placement
    Placed accelerometers at three different palces Compare the data
    Take the most practical approach

    GPS Accuracy
    Verify the GPS accuracy themselves Standard deviation ~3.3 meters Better than just stating the inaccuracy figures

    Hand-labeled taining data


    A person manually labels data on different

    samples
    Smooth road Expansion joints Railroad crossings Potholes Manholes Hard stop Turn

    Road Anomalies

    Loosely labeled Training Data


    Number of anomalies over a stretch of the road

    Allows for obtaining ground truth in a loose manner but for bigger areas

    Finding high-energy events in accelerometers


    Speed High-pass
    Z-peak

    XZ-ratio Speed vs. Z ratio

    Several runs
    Analysis to find false positives and false

    negatives

    Performance evaluation of data by changing different parameters Manual Spot-checking

    Nericell: Rich Monitoring of Road and Traffic Conditions using Mobile Smartphones Prashanth Mohan, Venkata N. Padmanabhan, Ramachandran Ramjee Microsoft Research India, Bangalore MobiSys08

    Use of mobile phones


    Requires to solve orientation problem

    Use of audio to find horns

    Provide solution of inside enclosed vehicle (car etc.) placement and outside enclosed vehicle (bike, pedestrian etc.)
