Abstract
An active road surface maintenance system and method developed for connected vehicles with the aid of a mobility digital twin (MDT) framework. A method performed in a cloud-based digital space includes receiving data regarding a physical object from a physical space connected to a vehicle. The method also includes processing the data using machine learning to model road surface conditions, in which respective penalty values are assigned to corresponding road surfaces, a respective penalty value being higher the lower a condition of the corresponding road surface. The method also includes deriving instructions based on the modeled road surface conditions and the respective penalty values to guide actuation of the vehicle along a trajectory. The method further includes transmitting the instructions to the physical space connected to the vehicle to guide actuation of the vehicle.
