eIRI ASAsense vs IRI reference

Valid from PAVEsense version 8 (November 2024)

The ASAsense eIRI values are calculated from the road profile measured with the accelerometer in the sensor box. We combine the measurements of the different passes and take the average eIRI of all passes that meet the convergence criterion.

Comparison with reference measurements in the Port of Antwerp

The correlation was made using reference data that we kindly received from the Port of Antwerp. After applying some corrections for GPS drift, we observe a correlation (R² factor) of 70%. Given that we measure after the damping of the vehicle and across several passes, whereas the reference data is recorded once and always along one side of the vehicle, we consider this a good correlation factor. More important, however, is the effect on the analysis. There is a very good similarity between the reference data and the ASAsense data: the worse roads in the reference data also come out as bad in the ASAsense data, and the good ones as good.

eIRI ASAsense compared with the PoA distribution

When we look at the overall distribution of the data, we also see a very strong agreement.

Below we have also compared the "driving quality" indicator with the reference measurements. We analyse this with a "confusion matrix", a standard approach for classification problems. Quality is mainly predicted in neighbouring quality labels, as the confusion matrix shows. For example, of the roads whose true label is "very good", 96% are predicted as "good" or "very good".

Development

PAVEsense version 8

The alignment of the measured data was improved. As a result, peaks now coincide better at the correct location. This makes averaging over different passes a more effective way to obtain the final result. Moreover, it is a simpler method and also works when there are few passes over the same location. The following table shows the R² of the new version compared with the previous one. We also see that the prediction of Driving Quality has improved significantly compared with the previous version. The table was created with the same data for v7 and v8, which makes comparison possible.

eIRI version R² (dtw-aligned)
PAVEsense v7 and earlier 0.61
from PAVEsense v8 0.7
eIRI driving quality confusion matrix, normalised on the true label
PAVEsense version 7 and earlier

In PAVEsense v7 and earlier, the 85th percentile was used to combine different passes into one measurement. This version under-reported the measured eIRI, so many roads ended up in a better category than in reality.
