SOUTH DAKOTA ROUGHOMETER COMPARISON TESTS- 1962
ROUGHOMETER COMPARISON TESTS WERE CONDUCTED ON 54 MILES OF HIGHWAY NEAR SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA. THE PURPOSE OF THESE TESTS WERE TO' /1/ COMPARE ROUGHOMETER OPERATION AND DATA FROM SEVERAL STATES, /2/ COMPARE THE ROUGHOMETER DATA WITH SLOPE VARIANCE DATA OBTAINED WITH A CHLOE LONDITUDINAL PROFILOMETER, AND /3/ TO DEVELOP FORMULAS FOR USE WITH THE VARIOUS MACHINES IN DETERMINING THE PRESENT SERVICEABILITY INDEX. THE TEST SECTIONS AND TEST METHODS WERE DESCRIBED AND DATA RESULTING FROM THE TEST PRESENTED. DATA ANALYSES AND THE RESULTING PRESENT SERVICEABILITY INDEX FORMULAS FOR EACH ROUGHOMETER ARE PRESENTED. ALTHOUGH DEFICIENCIES WERE FOUND IN BOTH THE BPR EQUIPMENT AND THE CHLOE PROFILE, THEIR OVERALL BEHAVIOR WAS ENCOURAGING.
