Detección de baches en vías mediante el uso de los datos obtenidos de teléfono celular marca Samsung

Abstract

Abstract:Road infrastructure is essential for the development of society. Over time the roads deteriorate due to vehicular traffic and weather conditions. This, together with inadequate maintenance of the roads, leads to the formation of potholes, anomalies in the surface of the pavement that affect the road operations. Currently, pothole detection and location systems, from the government, are inefficient, due to the big distances that must be covered and the high cost of the systems. Considering these problems have not yet been resolved, this research proposes a low-cost method for pothole detection and location, using sensors embedded in smartphones. The procedure uses a smartphone app, that records and stores information from the position and acceleration sensors. This information was processed with several filters until the detection of the events (potholes). Subsequently, the methodology has been validated in other road sections. The result is a methodology that allows detecting files with an accuracy rate of up to 84%.
