MOBILE COMPUTING APPLICATION FOR ROADWAY PAVEMENT DATA
First Claim
1. A method for communicating roadway pavement data, the method comprising:
- entering roadway pavement data into an application on a mobile device;
determining a location of the mobile device;
notifying a user of the mobile device that the device is near a point of interest for taking a data sample;
transferring the data from the application to a cloud-based storage environment; and
accessing the data in real time from the cloud-based storage environment to monitor a pavement condition.

Abstract
A system configured to collect and disseminate measurements regarding a roadway condition. The numerical measurements may include pavement construction material temperature, material density, photographs, videos, location information (GPS, GIS, station and offset, etc.), timestamp, text, audio, calculated values, detected values (for example roadway ride quality based on calibrated mobile device internal accelerometer). The system may also disseminate information to the mobile devices with construction project/asset specific information. For example, information can include training or educational content on how to perform a specific measurement or procedure to properly acquire a data sample in the field. For example, the information sent to the mobile device can use real-time information such as device location to determine if the system user is near a point of interest where a particular data sample should be measured and recorded. Data uploaded to the cloud-based storage environment may be made immediately available to one or more other credentialed users for real-time project tracking
