Road roughness is a broad term that incorporates everything from potholes and cracks to the random deviations that exist in a profile. To build a roughness index, road irregularities need to be measured first. Existing ...
Herein a two stage Kalman filter based algorithm is proposed for processing of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data to obtain accurate position estimation over a short period of time. The proposed algorithm uses a novel ...
Ubiquitous motion sensors in shoes and clothing are becoming more prevalent. This new data stream opens a large opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of human movement. This paper describes the development and validation ...
Pavement surface profiles induce dynamic ride responses in vehicles which can potentially be used to classify road surface roughness. A novel method is proposed for the characterisation of pavement roughness through an ...
Bridge structures are subject to continuous degradation due to the environment, ageing and excess loading. Monitoring of bridges is a key part of any maintenance strategy as it can give early warning if a bridge is becoming ...
Elite rugby union teams currently employ technology in order to monitor and evaluate
the physical demands of training and games on their players. Tackling has been shown to be the most common cause of injury in rugby union ...
apital investment in national infrastructure is significant. The need to maintain and protect critical infrastructure links has led in recent years to significant developments in the area of structural health monitoring. ...
Pavements and bridges are subject to a continuous degradation due to traffic aggressiveness, ageing and environmental factors. A rational transport policy requires the monitoring of this transport infrastructure in order ...
A periodic monitoring of the pavement condition facilitates a cost-effective distribution of the
resources available for maintenance of the road infrastructure network. The task can be
accurately carried out using ...
Highway structures such as bridges are subject to continuous degradation primarily due to ageing and environmental factors. A rational transport policy requires the monitoring of this transport infrastructure to provide ...
