Pavement management systems (PMS) provide procedures to quantify road serviceability based on pavement conditions such as cracks
and plastic deformation and suggest proper maintenance methods. The deterioration of the road pavement is relevant to the time although
the quantifications on road serviceability in PMS present road surface conditions at the evaluation. More systematic evaluation on road
serviceability may need time-dependent factors of road environments and that can improve PMS. Rainfall, temperature and vehicle loads
can be environmental factors for road serviceability evaluation. As no data are avablie that can link between road conditions and
environmental road factors, we conducted experiments to suggest economical devices and methods to obtain relevant data. We used
temperature sensors and accelerometers with Arduino to measure road surface temperature and dynamic loads and provide data to
improve pavement serviceability evaluation.
