A cooperative platform is studied for improving the efficiency of road crack detection. The platform is mainly divided into a mobile terminal with an embedded road crack detection system, which detects pavement surface cracks, and a control center which analyses the crack information and makes further decisions. The experimental results indicate that this real time platform is more efficient than classical road detection systems. Also a sample case of the platform is given to show the road crack detection results and output. The application of the road crack edge detection was realized in embedded Linux system in the cooperative platform. The evaluation report will be output in real time and sent to the central database from the embedded mobile terminal, including the corresponding position information in the GIS of the cooperative platform.
