Practical application of road condition assessment system to road networks in Timor-Leste

摘要

Recently, road pavement surfaces have seriously deteriorated due to aging and the increasing number of heavy vehicles. Therefore, appropriate maintenance is required for the road to provide service over a long time. Many efforts have been made by road experts for maintenance of the road pavement surface. However, there are some problems due to cost performance and vehicle running costs. Therefore, we have tried to develop a more rational assessment system using the latest information and technology. This paper is about the practical application of a road condition assessment system applied in Timor-Leste road networks to evaluate the serviceability of existing road pavement surfaces. The system will evaluate the condition of pavement surfaces using video recording and motion sensor to obtain Z-axis (vertical) acceleration data. This system was developed using the visual basic application.
