The road inspection typically depends on road inspectors to do regular check-ups in their responsible areas. If the inspectors find damaged roads or broken facilities such as traffic lights, they will note them down with their cameras or smart phones. Sometimes, citizens report the damaged road condition, and then the inspectors con rm the damage in person. The method needs a higher input of labor and longer process time. In recent years, satellite inspection cars were introduced for road inspection. Inspectors use cameras and a satellite positioning system to document noticed damages. The satellite inspection car shortens the time for road inspection. However, this method still needs extra staffs to carry out the task. Moreover, the satellite inspection car is very expensive. This thesis introduces a system for supporting road safety inspection. Citizens use mobile devices to record videos and location information when they are driving. The videos then can be uploaded to the system. The system shows the roads of which videos are available. Road inspectors select needed road segments to watch the corresponding videos, so they can collect the information without going to the damaged spots. The system can reduce required inspection manpower, cost, and time.
