The Enhanced Temporal-BiLSTM Network (ETLNet) is a novel approach to detecting road anomalies, such as potholes and speedbumps, using smartphone inertial sensor data. The ETLNet model integrates two Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) layers with a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) layer, tailored to detect anomalies effectively regardless of lighting conditions. The methodology employs accelerometer and gyroscope sensors in smartphones to gather data on road conditions. Empirical evaluations demonstrate that the ETLNet model maintains an F1-score for detecting speed bumps of 99.3%. This significant advancement in automated road surface monitoring technologies has important implications for public transport, automated vehicles, and traffic safety.

Road anomalies can be intentional or unintentional, but they often harm vehicles substantially. To address the detection of these anomalies, an automated road monitoring system is needed. The ETLNet model uses smartphone inertial sensor data to detect road conditions, which is more effective than visual-based systems due to poor lighting conditions and improper markings. The model combines two TCN layers with a BiLSTM layer, making it robust and efficient for detecting speed bumps and other anomalies.
