In terms of its influence on human health, noise has a significant effect. One type of noise is generated by tire/road contact while a vehicle is in motion. This noise is monitored and analyzed using the CPX (Close-ProXimity) method according to ISO 11819-2, in which microphones are used to measure the noise generated by a rolling reference tire. The level of this type of noise is determined by various factors. One of these factors is the macrotexture of the road surface, that is, the texture of the road surface a...

One of the main monitored parameters related to road traffic safety is the visibility of road facilities and how they are perceived by drivers. Areas where visibility is suddenly limited, or where road sections become unclear due to inadequate design and technological arrangements, pose significant safety risks. Monitoring the optical properties of the applied coating surface, particularly its retroreflection and colour, is crucial for traffic safety. The paper describes research leading to the design of a system ...

Road managers are obliged by law to regularly monitor the condition of road pavements as part of road inspections. Visual inspections provide basic information on the condition of the road and regular assessments are the basis for planning maintenance and repairs. These inspections are usually carried out from a dedicated car and recorded manually by an operator or done by special sophisticated and very costly devices with cameras and various sensors. Inspections are done in defined periods based on road class and...
