MOBI-ROMA develops and evaluates the benefits of the new satellite positioning techniques and operational concepts for road management assessment needs utilising Floating Car Data (FCD). The concept is to combine and process available data from fixed measuring field stations and floating cars. The combination of different sources of data gives a novel opportunity for efficient monitoring and detection of variations in pavement and road conditions. This approach enables development of maintenance tools for road conditions during various times of a year and various traffic conditions. Data from the CAN-BUS1 within the car are applicable as a quantitative basis for signal processing and analysis. The road parameters that can be estimated with the MOBI-ROMA method are for instance:

• Quality of road condition
• Strength of road bed
• Need for winter maintenance

In order to demonstrate its applicability, a Graphical User Interface will be developed, and a pilot will be demonstrated in test areas in Sweden and Germany. The results will be evaluated carefully, and cost/benefit analysis made in order to assess the feasibility and benefits of these new methods in road maintenance.
