I recall a bit on PBS maybe 15 years ago (maybe more--if I recall correctly I still lived in NYS which would make it more like 20 years ago) where the British were developing a vehicle mounted camera system for assessing roads. At the time the focus was on the wave formed by the tires following the same line. Once a section of road had become grooved beyond a certain tolerance it was supposed to be repaved. I don't believe the system was sensitive enough to pick up potholes or cracks though.Grendelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14838976502745469508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143591437599331659.post-72198115999568553962009-05-16T09:32:00.000-04:002009-05-16T09:32:00.000-04:00Yes. inspection by bike seems like a good low tech...Yes. inspection by bike seems like a good low tech idea.
