This project aims to design and develop a prototype vehicle-towed road surface surveying and condition**monitoring system. Municipalities around the world spend millions of dollars to maintain and repair their**roadways. Despite this investment, poor road conditions are still a huge issue that causes damage to vehicles and**harm to drivers and pedestrians. Maintaining road conditions is a challenge due to harsh weather, unexpected**traffic load, and normal wear and tear factors that degrade even well-laid roads over relatively short periods of**time.**There have been many academic research projects performed on the subject of road surface mapping with the**intention of identifying road surface conditions, as well as recognizing potholes. Most studies rely on mounting a**variety equipment/sensory techniques on a fleet of vehicles so that as a vehicle is driven over any road, an**identification system can detect pothole specifications and location. The main goal now is to increase the accuracy**and reduce or eliminate false detections while the vehicle maintains a relatively high speed.**Through this proposal, industry partner Sorsys Technologies Inc. seeks to address this problem by engaging the**faculty and student expertise in Sheridan College's Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Design Technologies**(CAMDT) in Brampton, Ontario. Specifically, this applied research project will harness the talent of a dedicated**team at Sheridan to develop a novel system that involves the design and fabrication of a prototype for a pothole**detection system through consultation and technical support from the team at Sorsys.

本项目旨在设计和开发一个原型的车载拖车路面测量和状态监测系统。世界各地的市政当局花费数百万美元来维护和修复他们的**道路。尽管有这样的投资，糟糕的路况仍然是一个巨大的问题，会对车辆造成损害，并对司机和行人造成**伤害。由于恶劣的天气、意想不到的交通负荷以及正常的磨损因素，即使铺设良好的道路也会在相对较短的**时间内退化，维护道路状况是一项挑战。**已经有许多关于路面测绘的学术研究项目，目的是**识别路面状况，以及识别坑洞。大多数研究依赖于在车队上安装各种设备/传感技术，以便当车辆在任何道路上行驶时，**识别系统可以检测坑洞的规格和位置。现在的主要目标是在车辆保持相对较高的速度的情况下提高精度**并减少或消除错误检测。**通过这项提议，行业合作伙伴Sorsys Technologies Inc.寻求通过聘请位于安大略省布兰普顿的谢里登学院先进制造和设计技术中心**的教职员工和学生的专业知识来解决这一问题。具体地说，这个应用研究项目将利用Sheridan一个专注的**团队的才华来开发一种新的系统，该系统涉及通过Sorsys团队的咨询和技术支持来设计和制造坑洞探测系统的原型。
