Automated systems for road crack detection are extremely important in road maintenance for vehicle safety and traveler’s comfort. Emerging cracks in roads need to be detected and accordingly repaired as early as possible to avoid further damage thus reducing rehabilitation cost. In this paper, a robust method for Gabor filter parameters optimization for automatic road crack detection is discuss...

Abstract In ice and snow weather, the surface texture characteristics of asphalt pavement change, which will significantly affect skid resistance performance pavement. this study, five mixture types AC-5, AC-13, AC-16, SMA-13, SMA-16 were prepared under three conditions original state, snow. paper, a 2D-wavelet transform approach is proposed to characterize micro macro The Normalized Energy (NE...

Image classification are critically dependent on the features. In this paper, we perform an empirical feature evaluation task for building facade images. Feature sets we choose are basic features, color features, histogram features, peucker features, texture features, and SIFT features. We present an approach for regionwise labeling using an efficient randomized decision forest classifier and l...

This paper deals with the modeling of rolling resistance and analysis effect pavement texture. The Rolling Resistance Model (RRM) is a simplification no-slip rate Dynamic Friction (DFM) based on tire/road contact intended to predict tire/pavement friction at all slip rates. experimental validation this approach was performed using machine simulating tires road surfaces. tested surfaces have wid...

Pavement condition evaluation is a significant part of a good pavement management system for effective maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction decision-making. One of the key components of pavement condition evaluation is the quantification of pavement distresses data. Cracking is the main form of early pavement distresses. Cracking of pavement affects road condition, driving comfort, t...

For any given road layout or curvature skid resistance as property of pavement surface and tyre is a decisive factor limiting the speed threshold for safe driving. Skid resistance is no fixed value and is significantly lowered in case of precipitation depending on form and rate. A further influence factor in such cases is the macro texture of pavements due to their capacity to hold precipitatio...

Pavement crack detection plays an important role in pavement maintaining and management. The threedimensional (3D) pavement crack detection technique based on laser is a recent trend due to its ability of discriminating dark areas, which are not caused by pavement distress such as tire marks, oil spills and shadows. In the field of 3D pavement crack detection, the most important thing is the ac...
