Abstract:
Modern smartphones equipped with various sensors provide a cost-effective solution for urban pavement ride quality monitoring. In this field, road-induced vehicle vibrations collected by smartphone accelerometer are quantified following ISO 2631-1 as occupant-perceived driving comfort intensity, serving as a guideline for evaluating ride quality. However, existing methods often ignore the heterogeneous effects of vehicle suspensions and speeds on driving comfort intensity, challenging the objectivity of ride quality monitoring results. Therefore, this study advocates a multi-vehicle collaborative monitoring scheme and proposes a tailored two-stage method. In the first stage, multi-vehicle vibrations along the same path are collected via smartphone and transformed into multi-source driving comfort intensity (MSDCI) information. The second stage introduces a probability fusion method based on Generalised Extreme Value (GEV) theory to model MSDCI information as an uncertain event, further categorised into six levels of driving uncomfortable events to jointly characterise ride quality and develop a warning metric. The method was validated through a real-world case, showing that: (1) the GEV-based method is robust in fusing MSDCI information; (2) pavement locations with severe ride quality problems can be identified by the warning metric. The proposed method contributes to sustainable urban pavement management and will be promoted by integrating crowdsourcing technology .
