Abstract

The paper provides a discussion on the overall body of problems related to developing a mobile tool referred to as Road Condition Tool, used for the road infrastructure condition assessment based on the recorded signals of linear accelerations set out in a three-dimensional system. Such a data set is created while typical transport services are performed by a group of carriers which have deployed the solution in question. The road condition tool discussed in this article constitutes a part of the S-mileSys platform developed under the “Sustainable Logistics and Supply Chains” competition within the framework of the ERANET Transport III programme. The solution proposed in the paper is a mobile device with a module for positioning and one for recording linear accelerations, featuring software developed under the S-mile project for purposes of the road network assessment and description.
