Title Automated GPS Mapping of Road Roughness

Advisors

Availability unrestricted

Abstract
Many roads across the United States are in poor condition, which can lead to unnecessary accidents and repair costs. In order to alleviate these problems, our group built a second generation road roughness detector that could identify these troubled roads. With the aid of GPS and a mapping program, city officials would now be able to keep track of the condition of their roads. Through examining the first generation design and researching applicable topics, we created a more compact product that was easy to use.
