| Summary: | To discover road anomalies, a large number of detection methods have been proposed. Most of them apply classification techniques by extracting time and frequency features from the acceleration data. Existing methods are time-consuming since these methods perform on the whole datasets. In addition, few of them pay attention to the similarity of the data itself when vehicle passes over the road anomalies. In this article, we propose QF-COTE, a real-time road anomaly detection system via mobile edge computing. Specifically, QF-COTE consists of two phases: (1) Quick filter. This phase is designed to roughly extract road anomaly segments by applying random forest filter and can be performed on the edge node. (2) Road anomaly detection. In this phase, we utilize collective of transformation-based ensembles to detect road anomalies and can be performed on the cloud node. We show that our method performs clearly beyond some existing methods in both detection performance and running time. To support this conclusion, experiments are conducted based on two real-world data sets and the results are statistically analyzed. We also conduct two experiments to explore the influence of velocity and sample rate. We expect to lay the first step to some new thoughts to the field of real-time road anomalies detection in subsequent work.
