Method and system for monitoring and assessing road conditions

Abstract:

Systems and methods for monitoring and assessing road conditions are disclosed herein that receive raw data comprising information indicative of road conditions from various types of remote devices. The road condition data may be normalized based on the type of the remote device and the normalized road condition data may be stored. A road condition model may be generated based on the normalized road condition data and using the device location. The road condition model may be used to identify pothole locations, rate road segments, etc. The road condition model may apply various data set weightings and learning algorithms to present an accurate result. The road condition model may be optimized based on feedback from city personnel and other sources of information to determine the accuracy of the model outputs. The road condition model may also be trained to ensure accuracy.
