Built upon random vibration analysis of a half-car mechanistic model of roughness-induced pavement–vehicle interaction, the inverse analysis employs an L2 norm regularization to estimate ride quality metrics, such as the widely used International Roughness Index, from the acceleration PSD. Evoking the fluctuation– dissipation theorem of statistical physics, the inverse framework estimates the half-car dynamic vehicle properties and related excess fuel consumption. The method is validated against (a) laser-measured road roughness data for both inner city and highway road conditions and (b) road roughness data for the state of California.We also show that the phone position in the vehicle only marginally affects road roughness predictions, an important condition for crowdsourced capabilities of the proposed approach. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11889/6736 | DOI: | https://doi.org/10.1017/dce.2020.17 |
