The invention concerns an International Roughness Index (IRI) estimation method comprising a preliminary step (10) and an IRI estimation step (20), wherein the preliminary step (10) includes: collecting (11) first vehicle vertical acceleration values measured on one or more motor vehicles (40) driven at one or more given constant speeds on one or more roads or road segments associated with known IRI values or known road profiles, first vehicle geo-referencing data of the measured first vertical acceleration values, and first vehicle speed data indicative of the given constant speed(s) associated with the measured first vertical acceleration values; computing (12) first root mean square values of the first vehicle vertical acceleration values: and determining (13), based on the known IRI values/road profiles, on the first vehicle geo-referencing and speed data and on the first root mean square values, one or more vehicle transfer functions mathematically relating vehicle vertical acceleration root mean square values and IRI values at the given constant speed(s). The IRI estimation step (20) includes: acquiring (21) second vehicle vertical acceleration values measured on a given motor vehicle (40) driven at a driving speed on a given road or road segment: computing (22) second root mean square values of the second vehicle vertical acceleration values: and estimating (23) an IRI value for the given road or road segment based on one or more vehicle transfer functions determined in the preliminary step (10) and on the second root mean square values and the driving speed of the given motor vehicle (40).
