    Abstract: Operational data from vehicles operating over a haul road at a work site may be used to determine when road conditions exist that require maintenance to be performed on the haul road. As the vehicles travel over the haul road, sensors transmit sensor signals with the operational data for locations along the road. An electronic control module (ECM) of each vehicle determines road quality indicators for the locations and compares the road quality indicators to predetermined road quality indicator limits. When two or more vehicles determine that a road quality indicator at a location is outside the predetermined road quality indicator limits, or if the same vehicle determines that a road quality indicator at the location is outside the predetermined road quality indicator limits, a road maintenance request message may be generated that will result in the necessary maintenance to be performed at the location.
