METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING A ROAD CONDITION

The invention pertains to a road condition determining system (40) and a method for determining a condition of a road traversed by at least one vehicle. The road condition determining system (40) comprises a vehicle position determination means (55) for determining a position of the vehicle, a calibration parameter detection unit adapted to determine at least one calibration parameter of a part of the vehicle, a vertical acceleration sensor (35) adapted to continuously sense a vertical acceleration of the vehicle, a calculation unit adapted to calculate a road condition value based on the vertical acceleration and on the calibration parameter, and to continuously monitor whether the road condition value exceeds a predefined schedule, and a data transmission unit (75) adapted to provide maintenance data to at least one receiver, the maintenance data comprising at least an information about the vehicle position.
