To resolve these problems, numerous studies have focused on automating road inspection, including a study in which we developed a smartphone-based road inspection system. For efficient operation of the system, it is necessary to understand the usage of vehicles in which the system will be installed. In this study, we analyzed the usage of public vehicles with long-term global positioning system (GPS) probe data collected from public vehicles operating in Kakogawa city and Fujisawa city in Japan. As a result, we discovered that local governments of the same size have similar tendencies in terms of road coverage. Moreover, we found that installing road inspection systems on only a few public vehicles can cover the entire road inspection area. We anticipate that these results will assist local governments in making informed decisions during the system introduction process and provide an indicator of the accuracy required for road inspection systems to future researchers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi9030161","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,10]],"date-time":"2020-03-10T11:59:36Z","timestamp":1583841576000},"page":"161","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Analyzing Road Coverage of Public Vehicles According to Number and Time Period for Installation of Road Inspection Systems"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Takehiro","family":"Kashiyama","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo 153-8505, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoshihide","family":"Sekimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo 153-8505, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0281-1790","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Toshikazu","family":"Seto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Spatial Information Science, The University of Tokyo, Chiba 277-8568, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2750-3260","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ko Ko","family":"Lwin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo 153-8505, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (2019, April 10).
