CORRELATION OF SUBJECTIVE PANEL RATINGS OF PAVEMENT RIDE QUALITY WITH PROFILOMETER-DERIVED MEASURES OF PAVEMENT ROUGHNESS (ABRIDGMENT)

Results of a series of comparative, statistical analyses that were accomplished to relate subjective ratings of pavement ride quality to profilometer-derived measures of pavement roughness are reported. The goal was to develop preferred methods of analysis that can be used to develop transforms that will allow subjective ratings to be predicted from objective measures. The major conclusions are that: (a) it is possible to determine those specific frequency bands that are most related to subjective ride quality and (b) the correlations between the profile power levels in these frequency bands and the mean panel ratings are very high, indicating excellent agreement.
