Abstract: This article on pavement construction and maintenance discusses an adaptation of an automated vehicle location (AVL) system for use in locating and mapping out potholes. A screen view shows a typical depiction of the speed, heading and state of several discrete inputs. This screen shows a system tracking street sweepers, which were outfitted with a pothole button, a simple switch near the dashboard that the driver presses when the vehicle passes over a pothole. System requirements are given. They include the need for a discrete input monitoring system for the pothole button, which is common. And the AVL database must be accessible, and the geographic information systems (GIS) personnel be trained in data mining.
