CHLOE PAVEMENT SERVICEABILITY PROGRAM

TWO MAIN AREAS OF EFFORT ARE EMPHASIZED: FIRST, WORK PERFORMED ON THE CHLOE PROFILOMETER UNIT IN ORDER TO MAKE IT OPERATIONAL, AND SECOND, OPERATING PROCEDURES FOLLOWED IN USE OF THE UNIT IN 1967 AND 1968. THE PROFILOMETER WAS DELIVERED TO THE STATE OF HAWAII IN AN INOPERABLE CONDITION. A MAJOR PART OF THE RESEARCH EFFORT HAD TO BE DEVOTED TO MAKING THE PROFILOMETER OPERATIONAL AND TO ADDING IMPROVE- MENTS TO THE EXISTING SYSTEMS TO ENABLE THE UNIT TO MORE ADEQUATELY PERFORM ITS INTENDED FUNCTIONS. SINCE SUCH A LARGE PART OF THE TIME WAS SPENT ON WORK ON THE UNIT'S MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, ONE CHAPTER IS DEVOTED TO DESCRIBING IN DETAIL THE IDEAS CONCEIVED FOR CREATING AN OPERATIONAL UNIT, THE CHANGES EFFECTED, AND THE HARDWARE INSTALLED. ONCE THE UNIT HAD BEEN MADE OPERATIONAL, THE PRO- FILOMETER WAS USED TO ESTABLISH PAVEMENT SERVICEABILITY INDICES FOR SELECTED SECTIONS OF ROADWAY IN PURSUANCE OF THE GOALS OF DETERMINING STANDARDS OF PAVEMENT CONDITION AND OF FINDING A MEANS OF DETERMINING WHEN PAVEMENTS SHOULD BE RESURFACED OR RECONSTRUCTED. CHAPTER THREE DESCRIBES THE OPERATING PROCEDURES FOLLOWED. THE LAST CHAPTER GIVES SEVERAL CONCLUSIONS REACHED AFTER EXAMINATION OF RESULTS. INCLUDED IS AN INDICATION OF RECOMMENDED DIRECTIONS OF FUTURE RESEARCH. APPENDIX A GIVES A LISTING OF EVERY TEST SECTION COVERED IN THIS SURVEY. /AUTHOR/
