DETECTION OF ROAD SURFACE DEFECTS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving motion and position information from a plurality of vehicles;
retrieving a profile for a particular vehicle from a database of vehicle profiles by using an identifier of the particular vehicle;
identifying one or more criteria for detecting a particular type of road surface defect based on the retrieved profile of the particular vehicle; and
upon determining that the received motion and position data satisfies the identified criteria, reporting a detection of a road surface defect of the particular type and a location associated with the detected road surface defect based on the received position information.

Abstract
A method of detecting and identifying road surface defects is provided. Motion and position information is received from a plurality of vehicles. A profile is retrieved for a particular vehicle from a database of vehicle profiles by using an identifier of the particular vehicle. One or more criteria are identified for detecting a particular type of road surface defect based on the retrieved profile of the particular vehicle. Upon determining that the received motion and position data satisfies the identified criteria, a detection of a road surface defect of the particular type and a location associated with the detected road surface defect based on the received position information is reported.

12. A computing device comprising:
-
a processor; a network interface coupled to the processor; a storage device storing a set of instructions, wherein an execution of the set of instructions by the processor configures the computing device to perform acts comprising; collecting data from a set of sensors of a vehicle; retrieving a profile for the vehicle; identifying one or more criteria for detecting a particular type road surface defect based on the retrieved profile of the vehicle; and upon determining that the collected sensor data satisfies identified criteria, reporting to a datacenter a detection of a road surface defect of the particular type and a location associated with the detected road surface defect, based on the received position information. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
