Abstract

The state of road surfaces can have a significant impact on vehicle handling, passenger comfort, safety, fuel consumption, and maintenance requirements. For this reason, it is important to analyze road conditions in order to improve traffic safety, optimize fuel efficiency, and provide a smoother travel experience. This research presents a federated learning analysis that brings together edge computing and cloud technology, by identifying various road conditions through a multi-label road surface classification analysis. The presented analysis prioritizes the privacy of road users’ data and leverages the advantages of collective data analysis while building confidence in the system. Multi-label classification is applied in order to capture complexity by assigning multiple relevant labels, thus providing a richer and more detailed understanding of the road conditions. According to the experiments, this approach efficient classifies road surface images, achieving comprehensive coverage even in scenarios where data from certain edges is limited.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
