Opportunistic monitoring of pavements for noise labeling and mitigation with machine learning

Currently, municipalities assess rolling noise on road surfaces using Close-Proximity measurements (CPX). To avoid these labor-intensive measurements, an opportunistic approach based on commodity sensors in a fleet of cars, is proposed. Blind sensor calibration eliminates the effect of measurement vehicle and varying observation conditions. Calibration relies on spatial coherence: modifiers and confounders do not interact strongly with location while the quantity of interest depends on location and less on measurement vehicle. Generalized additive speed models, car offset and de-noising autoencoders (DAE) were investigated. DAE achieves prominent results: (1) ratio of variability of measurements at a single location to the variability of measurements over all locations increases, (2) convergence of mean measurement at a location is faster, and (3) seasonal effects are eliminated. Finally, although the proposed method includes a diversity of tires, below 1600 Hz its results differ from CPX less than the difference between bi-annually repeated CPX measurements.
