Surface Distresses Detection of Pavement Based on Digital Image Processing

Pavement crack is the main form of early diseases of pavement. The use of digital photography to record pavement images and subsequent crack detection and classification has undergone continuous improvements over the past decade. Digital image processing has been applied to detect the pavement crack for its advantages of large amount of information and auto detection. The application of digital...

Investigation of Image Archiving for Pavement Surface Distress Survey

Adaptive Imaging Techniques for Pavement Surface Distress Analysis

The Local Authority road networks commonly comprise roads of various functional characteristics and a variety of construction types. In this paper we investigate about the use of digital techniques to obtain field data to increase safety and reduce labour (cost) requirements using a semi-automated distress collection and measurement system. In particular, the proposed algorithm automatically de...

Improving a pavement-watering method on the basis of pavement surface temperature measurements

Pavement-watering has been studied since the 1990’s and is currently considered a promising tool for urban heat island reduction and climate change adaptation. However, possible future water resource availability problems require that water consumption be optimized. Although pavement heat flux can be studied to improve pavement-watering methods (frequency and water consumption), these measureme...
