INVESTIGATION OF ROAD UNEVENNESS BY MEANS OF ACCELERATION MEASUREMENTS

RAZISKAVA NERAVNIH CESTISC Z MERITVAMI POSPESKOV

The article describes the measurements of longitudinal road profiles, as well as the new measuring equipment which was designed and constructed for this purpose at the institute for testing and research of materials and structures in ljubljana. Its use is based on the measurements of vertical profile acceleration of a measuring wheel. Using the described equipment, some measurements of longitudinal profiles have been performed. The results are presented as power spectral density functions; they are compared with those previously published in literature. Compared to other measuring equipment, the new equipment is smaller and lighter, costs less, is simply installed on a passenger car and performs relatively quick measurements.
