PAVEMENT VISUAL ASSESSMENTHandheld Data Collection DevicesandLaser Road Imaging System Paul Olivier Bob Briggs SAT WORKSHOP 24 August 2010
OUTLINE • Introduction • Handheld Data Collection Devices • Laser Road Imaging System
INTRODUCTION • Why Handheld Data Collection Devices? • Paper based systems have potential errors when performing data capture • Location referencing • No street names • Disorientation Incorrect condition assessment for a particular link
INTRODUCTION (...contd) • We have used 3 types : • Rugged PC (2003) • Laptop (2008) • Juno (2010)
LRIS – Laser Road Imaging System Robert C Briggs, P.E. Dynatest Consulting, Inc. Starke, FL
INTRODUCTION To achieve the goal of automated crack detection an ideal imaging system should have the following features: • It needs to be immune to the variable illumination conditions caused by the sun. • It needs to be immune to shadows cast from road side objects such as trees, buildings, viaducts and the inspection vehicle itself. • The system should be able to operate in both daylight and at night. • The artificial light source should provide a uniform illumination over the entire image. • The system should be set up in order to maximise the contrast of the crack images. • The resolution of the images should be 1mm or better. • The system should use a minimal amount of power.
