Conference Proceeding
Fendi, K. G., Adam, S. M., Kokkas, N., & Smith, M. J. (in press). An approach to produce a GIS database for road surface monitoring. . https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apcbee.2014.01.042

Road Surface Monitoring (RSM) is the process of detecting the distress on paved or unpaved road surfaces. The primary aim of this process is to detect any distress (such as road surface cracks) at early stages in order to apply maintenance on time. E...
