Abstract
In accordance with one or more embodiments herein, a system for monitoring the condition of a road surface travelled by a plurality of vehicles, each comprising at least one sensor, is provided. The system comprises a central processing arrangement arranged to: map at least a part of the road surface with a number of cells; receive road surface data for the cells, which road surface data is based on measurements made by the sensors as the plurality of vehicles travel on the road surface; and calculate a probability for at least one road surface parameter for each cell travelled by the plurality of vehicles based at least on road surface data received from the plurality of vehicles.

A system for monitoring the condition of a road surface travelled by a plurality of vehicles, each comprising at least one sensor, the system comprising a central processing arrangement arranged to:
- map at least a part of the road surface with a number of cells;
- receive road surface data for the cells, which road surface data is based on measurements made by the sensors as the plurality of vehicles travel on the road surface;
- and
- calculate a probability for at least one road surface parameter for each cell travelled by the plurality of vehicles based at least on road surface data received from the plurality of vehicles.
A method for monitoring the condition of a road surface travelled by a plurality of vehicles, each comprising at least one sensor, the method comprising:
- mapping at least a part of the road surface with a number of cells;
- determining road surface data for the cells based on measurements made by the sensors as the plurality of vehicles travel on the road surface;
- transferring the road surface data from the plurality of vehicles to a central processing arrangement;
- and
- calculating a probability for at least one road surface parameter for each cell travelled by the plurality of vehicles based at least on road surface data received from the plurality of vehicles.
