Zusammenfassung:	This invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining road conditions base on monitoring a plurality of parameters of a machine system. The machine system includes a payload system, an engine control system, a transmission system and an accelerometer. A control module monitors the machine systems and estimates the torque output of a drivetrain. By analyzing data from the systems the control module can determine if the machine is being operated on road that is in need of repair and dispatch equipment to repair the road.
