Background
- Existing driving datasets lack comprehensive road infrastructure element representation.
- Critical safety elements like guardrails, bollards, and signs are underrepresented.
- This gap hinders the development of advanced road safety and maintenance systems.
Purpose Of The Study
- Introduce DORIE (Dataset of Road Infrastructure Elements), a high-resolution dataset for infrastructure monitoring.
- Provide a benchmark for real-time object detection of road infrastructure.
- Facilitate research in intelligent road safety and maintenance.
Main Methods
- Curated a novel dataset (DORIE) with 938 images and over 6800 annotations across ten categories.
- Evaluated YOLOv8, YOLOv11, and YOLOv12 object detection models on the DORIE dataset.
- Assessed performance across multiple scales and input resolutions, measuring mean Average Precision (mAP) and inference latency.
Main Results
- Larger YOLO models and higher resolutions improved mAP by up to 40%, especially for small objects like traffic signs and bollards.
- Inference latency varied from 5.7 to 245.2 ms, highlighting the accuracy-speed trade-off.
- Demonstrated the effectiveness of YOLO models for detecting road infrastructure elements.
Conclusions
- DORIE provides a valuable, reproducible resource for advancing road infrastructure monitoring research.

Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...
The alignment of a road line using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a critical process in civil engineering, combining advanced technology with practical decision-making. This methodology begins with the collection of geospatial data, including information on land cover, geomorphology, drainage patterns, slope, and contour details. Such data is typically acquired through satellite imagery and GIS tools, offering a comprehensive understanding of the terrain.Once the data is gathered, it...
GPS surveying methods vary in application, accuracy, and data collection techniques, catering to diverse surveying and mapping needs. Static GPS, kinematic GPS, and real-time kinematic (RTK) surveying are widely used. Each technique offers distinct advantages.Static GPS involves placing one receiver at a known reference point and another at the target point. It collects exact positional data by observing multiple satellite ranges over an extended period, achieving centimeter-level accuracy for...
A Geographic Information System (GIS) combines specialized software and hardware to effectively manage, analyze, and present spatial and related data. GIS software includes critical functionalities such as a user interface for easy navigation, database management tools for handling spatial and attribute data, and data retrieval features for efficient access. Analytical tools transform raw data into insights, while display functions produce maps and reports in various formats for effective...
When measuring distances in areas with physical obstructions, such as a lake in a field, surveyors must employ techniques to calculate accurate lengths without direct line measurements. One effective method is the offset technique, which allows for precise distance estimation over inaccessible stretches.In this scenario, a surveyor must measure a side of an area that crosses a lake. Since the measuring tape cannot span the lake, the surveyor begins by establishing a baseline that aligns with...
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction.
