Abstract
Abstract Road health monitoring systems aim to obtain the technical indexes of roads, and then analyze the usage and the degree of damage of the roads, which can provide an important basis for road construction, maintenance, and management. Road roughness is one of the main technical indexes for road quality evaluation and road health monitoring. This study built a system and implemented it as an application to measure and analyze road longitudinal profiles simply and conveniently using the sensors in a mobile phone. The application uses the accelerometer sensor and the gravity sensor to obtain vertical acceleration by a projection method, then denoises through empirical mode decompositions and a Butterworth filter, which has a repeated measurement error of 11%. Different filters were compared and the repeatability, accuracy, robustness, and effectiveness of the system were analyzed. An index to evaluated road longitudinal profiles is given, so that the results can be analyzed and viewed interactively in the application, and a series of cases are given in this paper.
