Abstract

A method for detecting and processing the carriageway condition of a carriageway on which a vehicle is driven, by means of at least one noise sensor provided on the vehicle, in particular by means of at least one mechanical vibration sensor, wherein noise signals travelling through the vehicle are sensed by a noise sensor and conclusions as to the carriageway condition are drawn from the sensed noise signals. According to said method, the section of route on which the vehicle is currently being driven is determined, the determined carriageway condition is assigned to the section of route, said section of route and the carriageway condition that has been determined and assigned to the section of route are transmitted to a computer network, in particular to a cloud-based computing service, and the information relating to the carriageway condition assigned to a section of route is made available via the computer network.
