LiRA book

This book summarizes the activities and results obtained from the LiRA project. It is a structured collection of contributions from all four project partners. The book is written with an overall aim of providing the community with a unified text about the topic of road condition assessment using data collected from built-in sensors in conventional passenger cars. It provides all the relevant information needed to develop a similar concept including i) technical specifications and limitations of the used technol ogy, ii) data validation and calibration procedures, iii) design of the data infrastructure and database including challenges, iv) development of the different models used to predict road measures. Ultimately, it is hoped that the book will promote and highlight new business opportunities providing key information to the relevant stakeholders.
