  • Description: Stone pavements are present in many cities and their historical and cultural importance is well recognized. However, there are no standard monitoring methods for this type of pavement that allow road managers to define appropriate maintenance strategies. In this study, a novel method is proposed in order to monitor the road surface conditions of stone pavements in a quick and easy way. Field tests were carried out in an Italian historic center using accelerometer sensors mounted on both a car and a bicycle. A post-processing phase of that data defined the comfort perception of the road users in terms of the awz index, as described in the ISO 2631 standard. The results derived from the dynamic surveys were also compared with the corresponding values of typical pavement indicators such as the International Roughness Index (IRI) and the Pavement Condition Index (PCI), measured only on a limited portion of the urban road network. The network’s implementation in a Geographic Information System (GIS) represents the surveys’ results in a graphical database. The specifications of the adopted method require that the network is divided into homogeneous sections, useful for measurement campaign planning, and adopted for the GIS’ outputs representation. The comparisons between IRI-awz (R2 = 0.74) and PCI-awz (R2 = 0.96) confirmed that the proposed method can be used reliably to assess the stone pavement conditions on the whole urban road network.
