PAVEMENT PROFILE AND ROUGHNESS MEASUREMENTS (A REVIEW OF METHODS)

RESULTS ARE PRESENTED OF A REVIEW AND STUDY OF AVAILABLE METHODS FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF PAVEMENT PROFILES AND PAVEMENT ROUGHNESS. A BIBLIOGRAPHY IS PRESENTED OF PERTINENT LITERATURE. THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR PROFILE AND ROUGHNESS MEASUREMENTS INCLUDE MOBILITY, RUGGED CONSTRUCTION, ACCURACY OF MEASUREMENTS, AND USABILITY OF DATA. NONE OF THE INSTRUMENTS REVIEWED ARE COMPLETELY SATISFACTORY. A RECOMMENDED DEVICE IS OUTLINED AND DISCUSSED WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME AS THE CLINODOGRAPHE WHICH APPEARS BEST TO FULFILL THE DESIRED FUNCTIONS, EXCEPT THAT INTEGRATION IS PERFORMED ELECTRONICALLY AND A SINGLE SCANNING WHEEL IS REPLACED BY TWO SMALL WHEELS OF VERY SHORT WHEEL BASE.
