ABSTRACT
Motorcycles are the riskiest mode of travel in Malaysia, however
motorcycles are also very sensitive to the road surface condition. Thus, by
taking advantage of this, a system of software applications that analyses
motorcycle motion and mapped out risky road sections was developed, i.e. ROCOM.
Thesystemconsists of three major components, i.e.ROCOM Data Logger app, which
utilizes a smart phone to collect acceleration data, ROCOM Risk Mapping app,
which is a web-based application, and ROCOM Visual Tracking, which is a stand
along software. ROCOM is able to detect adverse acceleration (> 2g) or
vibration on the road surface similar to the High Accuracy GPS Data Logging for
Vehicle Testing (VBOX).Risk mapping validation along a section of the
motorcycle lane along Federal Route 2 shows that not only ROCOM have the
similar risk-mapping pattern, but its route tracking capability on the map is
far superior that the VBOX.The pilot and fieldtest results showed that ROCOM
works best when mounting the smartphone on the motorcycle handle bar or
basket,and it can detect various road anomalieswith successful detection rate
of 62%, with high detection rate when passing through uneven road surfaces.
