“…Other affordable approaches depend on photogrammetric technique in which a laser module (or more) is used to mark independent points that can be detected by image processing algorithms to construct a road profile which is used to calculate the road IRI values [9]. Another technique used by the road profiler is to measure the vertical distance form the moving vehicle and the road surface using ultrasonic sensors, which provide a low-cost alternative to other techniques [10]. Depth sensors are also used to estimate the road condition through calculating the value of the IRI from a reconstructed road image.…”

This paper presents a study on the design and implementation of a real-time Internet of Things (IoT) framework for monitoring road conditions. The proposed system incorporates an accelerometer sensor attached to the rear axle of a vehicle to capture vertical acceleration signals resulting from the interaction between the vehicle suspension system and the road surface. These acceleration signals are utilized to determine vertical displacements, which are then used to calculate the International Roughness Index (IRI) as an indicator of road quality. The system comprises a hardware node for acquiring acceleration signals and a remote monitoring system for calculating and visually representing the IRI on a road map. Our results demonstrate that the proposed system is effective in automatically assessing road conditions, with an error in the calculated IRI of less than 3.5%INDEX TERMS Internet of Things (IoT), road condition assessment, cellular internet, IRI.

“…A USD 47 system consisting of an infrared-based sensor and an accelerometer was developed by Kheirati and Golroo [184]. Some studies explored developing systems as cheap as USD 20 (Behera et al [183]) and USD 29 (Mirtabar et al [51]) using attached accelerometers and ultrasonic sensors, respectively. However, the majority of these approaches require rigorous calibration that necessitates Word Bank Class I profilers.…”

Roughness is widely used as a primary measure of pavement condition. It is also the key indicator of the riding quality and serviceability of roads. The high demand for roughness data has bolstered the evolution of roughness measurement techniques. This study systematically investigated the various trends in pavement roughness measurement techniques within the industry and research community in the past five decades. In this study, the Scopus and TRID databases were utilized. In industry, it was revealed that laser inertial profilers prevailed over response-type methods that were popular until the 1990s. Three-dimensional triangulation is increasingly used in the automated systems developed and used by major vendors in the USA, Canada, and Australia. Among the research community, a boom of research focusing on roughness measurement has been evident in the past few years. The increasing interest in exploring new measurement methods has been fueled by crowdsourcing, the effort to develop cheaper techniques, and the growing demand for collecting roughness data by new industries. The use of crowdsourcing tools, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is expected to receive increasing attention from the research community. However, the use of 3D systems is likely to continue gaining momentum in the industry.

Due to the country’s growing vehicle population, major cities in Indonesia are experiencing traffic congestion. Traffic congestion can result in driver delays, inconvenience, economic losses, and air pollution. This paper aims to analyze the road performance on Jalan Gajah Mada (Baloi Indah – UIB) Batam. The method that will be used to analyze the road performance on Jalan Gajah Mada (Baloi Indah – UIB) is MKJI 1997. The standard LOS value in determining the classification of roads in this study is D, or the starting current is unstable, the speed is low and varies, and the volume is close to capacity.
