Automatic pavement distress detection system
Information Sciences, 1998Abstract Statistics published by the Federal Highway Administration indicates that maintenance and rehabilitation of highway pavements in the United States requires over $17 billion a year. Conventional visual and manual pavement distress analysis approaches that the inspectors traverse the roads, stop and measure the distress objects when they are ...

Automatic inspection of pavement cracking distress
SPIE Proceedings, 2005We present an image processing algorithm customized for high-speed, real-time inspection of pavement cracking. In the algorithm, a pavement image is divided into grid cells of 8×8 pixels, and each cell is classified as a noncrack or crack cell using the grayscale information of the border pixels. Whether a crack cell can be regarded as a basic element (

Effects of autonomous vehicles on pavement distress & road safety and pavement distress optimization
2021The commercial application of automation technology in passenger and freight transport will bring positive revolutionary changes in transportation mobility. Despite having more advantages, automation in trucking technology has some detrimental effects on the performance of asphalt pavement and highway safety.

Identification of Pavement Distress in Kentucky
2006In Kentucky, the roads are comprised primarily of two types of pavement. The first being Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) a rigid pavement, and the other is Asphaltic Concrete (AC), a flexible pavement. There is a noticeable difference in their appearance, ride, cost and performance.

Unified Pavement Distress Index for Managing Flexible Pavements
Journal of Transportation Engineering, 1992One of the innovative approaches for maintaining and rehabilitating the nation's highways is to develop and implement some form of pavement management system (PMS). This paper documents results of a survey on PMS use in the United States. In addition, a simple method for a PMS based on priority ranking is presented.

Strategies for autonomous robot to inspect pavement distresses
2010 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2010Distress inspection is an important task in pavement maintenance. Pavement inspection requires tremendous human resources, so many investigators start developing automatic and robotic inspection methods to increase the efficiency and accuracy. However, the systems they developed are applicable for network-level inspection (large areas, long-distance ...

An image-based pavement distress detection and classification
2012 IEEE International Conference on Electro/Information Technology, 2012This paper presents a pavement segmentation and crack detection system from pavement images with complicated background information. The proposed method consists of three steps. In the first step, a Support Vector Machine, which shows a high degree of accuracy in classifying data, was employed to classify the image into two categories: a pavement group

Pavement Distress Detection Based on Transfer Learning
2018 5th International Conference on Systems and Informatics (ICSAI), 2018With the rapid development of highway construction in China, more and more attention has been paid to highway maintenance. The traditional manual detection and recognition methods cannot meet the needs of highway development, so the research of detection and recognition technology based on road image has become particularly important.

Horizontal Cracking and Pavement Distress in Portland Cement Concrete Pavement
Designing, Constructing, Maintaining, and Financing Today's Airport Projects, 2002This paper describes how severe spalling and half-depth punchout failures associated with horizontal cracks at the mid-depth of the concrete slabs were observed in continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) in Texas. A study was conducted to identify the causes of those horizontal cracks and their effect on pavement distress.

Wavelet-Based Pavement Distress Classification
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2005A two-step method–-wavelet transform followed by Radon transform–- is proposed for pavement distress classification. First, a pavement image is decomposed into different frequency subbands by wavelet transform. Distress is transformed into the high-amplitude wavelet coefficients, which are referred to as the details, in the high-frequency subbands. The
