Review of Estimation of Road Roughness Condition from Smartphones

Todays every smartphone is incorporated with many useful sensors. The sensors are originally designed to make the smartphones user interface and applications more convenient and interesting. These sensors, moreover, are potentially useful for many other applications in different fields. The use of smartphone sensors to estimate road roughness condition may be also possible, since many similar sensors are already in use in many sophisticated road roughness profilers. This study explores the use of data, collected by sensors from smartphones and use it to know the condition of data.
