Abstract

Potholes are defects on the surface of roads, streets, or pavements brought on by depressions or holes, which are hazardous for vehicles and pedestrians, whether small divots or huge craters. Various methods have been explored to improve the accuracy of potholes detection. Existing approaches have advantages and disadvantages. This paper presents the proposed method of pothole detection utilising Doppler Radar signal's Power Spectrum Density (PSD) together with the Decision Tree classification algorithm. While continuous waveform (CW) radar is able to identify moving targets, it cannot localise the exact depth of the reflector, which is the prominent characteristic of potholes. In addition, the target's reflected signal is likely to be masked by nearby harmonics. Since the radar is moving despite the target of interest, mounting it on a moving vehicle offers a different perspective. This paper explores the potential of Doppler radar's signal for pothole detection while comparing two Machine Learning (ML) techniques. A commercially over-the-shelf (COTS) K-LC2 Doppler radar was employed to acquire pothole and non-pothole raw datasets. Doppler signal was hardly distinguished between pothole and non-pothole, either in the time or frequency domain. Hence, Doppler signals were converted to power spectral density (PSD), and PSD's features were extracted. Extracted features were applied with the coarse Decision Tree (DT) and K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN) classification algorithms. The result exhibits a better accuracy of 91.2% for 80:20 distribution by using the Decision Tree.
