A PROFILE TRACER FOR WEAR MEASUREMENTS ON ROADS

A SPECIAL PROFILE TRACER CONSTRUCTED BY THE SWEDISH ROAD AND TRAFFIC INSTITUTE IS DESCRIBED. FIGURES ARE PRESENTED ILLUSTRATING THE PROFILE TRACER WHICH MAY BE USED FOR ROUTINE MEASUREMENT OF PROFILE CHANGES ON ROADS AND STREETS. WEAR IS DETERMINED BY TRACING PROFILES AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE DIRECTION OF DRIVING ON ROADS. A FORMULA IS PRESENTED FROM WHICH THE DECREASE IN PAVEMENT THICKNESS MAY BE CALCULATED. THE FORMALIZATION OF WEAR IS OUTLINED AND STUD COUNTING IN THE WINTER SEASON IS REVIEWED.
