AN INVESTIGATION OF THE SMOOTHNESS CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGHWAY PAVEMENT SURFACES

The report briefly describes Illinois' study of riding quality of newly constructed pavement, modifications made to the sensing devices of the BPR-Type Roughometer to improve its capabilities in measuring short pavement sections and to increase the operating speed, and calibration techniques. Included is a list of published reports, with abstracts, emanating from the project.
