Road Surface Quality
Detection using a Smartphone
Quality of the road data
The system works by normal driving of the roads by
staff or assigned personal with the HOTS mobile
phone application activated. As the vehicle is driving
the HOTS solution sesnor captures detailed road
information. The data and measurements are then
assembled in your RSQ™ database where they are
processed and presented. From the RSQ data
repository you can review which routes have been
measured with accompanying surface data.

Understand the quality of road surfaces in your municipality or road network. With the Road Surface
Quality™ (or RSQ™) solution available on Hermes Traffic Intelligence's HOTS™ solution, you can receive a
prompt overview of road surface conditions to quickly manage the areas which require extra attention such
as following the winter months, sotrms or road work.
ROAD SURFACE MEASUREMENTS
WITH SMARTPHONE
Road surface data & measurements are
gathered with the application trag.me -
Speedometer, developed by Hermes Traffic
Intelligence. If one or more of your colleagues
use the application when driving the roads in
your area sufficient data to determine road
surface quality will soon be collected enabling
an accurate assessment of the roads surface
quality.
Uers of the application can quickly and easily
deactivate the application and are regularly
notified of the data collection occurring. This
helps to ensure that any user will always be
made aware of when the application is
collecting data.
How to get started
Visit HOTS™ at http://hots.hermestraffic.com,
login as demo user and select RSQ™. This will
enable you to review coverage in your area and
actual surface quality results of a sample road
segment.
Contact Maziarka@WorknetAnalytics.com if you
want a demonstration. You and/or your
colleagues can download the application and
start collecting measurements on the roads
chosen. You will then receive trial access to the
system for your review.
With the RSQ™ service you can:
● Schedule repair of roads when necessary without
having to wait for inquiries from the citizens.
● Analyze data for recurring problem surfaces areas.
● View the quality of the roads as a layer in your
chosen GIS system.
● Verify measurements are recent, relevant and
applicable, so that you assign maintenance and
other resources based on valid data1.
● Locate and differentiate road bumps versus holes
in the road.
1: This requires a sufficient amount of measurements to be present in
the sense that you still have adequate measurements if you remove data
that e.g. is more than three months old.
