Damage detection of roads using piezo sensors

AniketVis over 1 year ago

I'm working on a project called damage detection in roads using piezoelectric sensor....i need some help and guidance regarding this....

There's a mob here that uses accelerometers and cameras mounted to our bus fleet to scan the roads on a nearly continuous basis:

That's a smart approach. They measure glitches in bus acceleration, that are typical for road hurdles. That should be a way cleaner signal to analyse than vibrations.

I didn't quite specifiy enough when I said:

(such projects require several skilled PHD+ level engineers with adequate resources in terms of computing and software tools).

Having access to a fleet of large vehicles repeatedly traversing the same route must help as well !

Thanks for the link Gough, very useful.

an accelerometer is a way to go if you want something that will give accelerations in 3 dimensions, as your wheel is not moving in one plane, even though that's what it looks like. this is very result oriented, maybe a camera which scans the road, and maybe some LIDAR sensors as well.
