- Road Event Mapping Method for Mobile Devices with Cloud Computing based TechnologiesPublication . Resende, Yoann dos Santos; Santos, Nuno Manuel Garcia dos; Spinsante, SusannaAmong other features, the road condition influences safety and driving comfort. Driving styles are somewhat related to the road profile, which leads to the need for a monitoring model to detect and signal damaged road segments and danger zones. Some methods were developed to collect and format the data of road infrastructures, in order to estimate the quality of the roads, based on the data collection from a mobile phone’s sensors placed inside a vehicle and on the feeding of artificial intelligence classification models. However, these methods do not provide instant feedback to the driver in the vehicle nor checks driving styles and current road condition. This work aimed to develop a system capable of detecting events on the road from the driver’s point of view (this research being limited to breaking and acceleration events), on different types of road pavements, using a machine learning supervised classification method that can be used in the future in a connected architecture to alert drivers of the dangers of the road ahead and therefore help increase road safety.
