Event Aggregation for Smartphone-based Road-Anomaly Detection

The automatic identification of road anomaly can be used to reduce the risk for drivers and the maintenance cost of the roads. Nowadays, with the wide popularity of smartphones that include multiple sensors, several solutions have been proposed to detect these anomalies. This paper proposes a method to synthesize pothole data sent from smartphones to identify pothole location with a high accuracy. The effectiveness of the approach has been determined by means of simulations.
