The report describes the equipment and methods for obtaining pavement roughness information. Mays Ride Meters are used for collecting inventory information, and the surface dynamics Profilometer is the standard by which the Mays Ride Meters are correlated. The report describes a trailer used to house the Mays Ride Meter equipment and a digital counter system designed to decrease data collection and processing time.
