Design and Development of a Prototype Road Surface Surveying System

本项目旨在设计和开发一个原型车拖式路面测量和状态监测系统。世界各地的政府花费数百万美元来维护和修理他们的公路。尽管有这些投资，恶劣的道路条件仍然是一个巨大的问题，造成车辆损坏和司机和行人的伤害。由于恶劣的天气、意外的 ** 交通负荷以及正常的磨损因素，即使是铺设良好的道路也会在相对较短的 ** 时间内退化，因此保持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，其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，识别系统可以检测到坑洞的规格和位置。现在的主要目标是提高准确性 **，并在车辆保持相对较高速度的同时减少或消除错误检测。通过这项提议，行业合作伙伴Sorsys Technologies Inc.为了解决这一问题，在安大略布兰普顿的谢里丹学院先进制造和设计技术中心（CAMDT），具体来说，这个应用研究项目将利用谢里丹一个专门的 ** 团队的人才，通过Sorsys团队的咨询和技术支持，开发一个新的系统，包括设计和制造一个坑洞 ** 检测系统的原型。

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.
