    摘要: A method of monitoring quality of a road segment from driver data is provided. The method includes receiving, by a server over a network, the driver data for a road segment from one or more sensing units in one or more vehicles. The method also includes calculating, in one or more computing devices, one or more quantitative pavement surface characteristics of the road segment from the driver data using a probabilistic inverse analysis framework. The method also includes identifying, in the one or more computing devices, one or more quantitative vehicle properties of the one or more vehicles from the driver data using the probabilistic inverse analysis framework. The method then includes estimating, in the one or more computing devices, one or more road quality characteristics of the road segment based on at least one of the quantitative pavement surface characteristics of the road segment and the quantitative vehicle properties of the one or more vehicles.
