Abstract:

This report presents the development of a combined smoothness specification for asphalt and concrete pavements ; and associated training for the certification of profiler operators by highway agencies. The report discusses the ; analyses conducted to develop appropriate levels of incentives and disincentives approximately equivalent to ; previous specifications, as a baseline. A brief survey of current practices by other states is also included. ; Appendices include the draft specification developed for this project, and the training materials that were presented ; in several workshops as part of the project. ; Features of the combined smoothness specification include the use of the International Roughness Index for ; smoothness assurance on all pavements, certification of profiler operators, uniform electronic data filenames, ; profile measurement in both wheel paths, the use of the ProVAL software (developed by FHWA), and areas of ; localized roughness calculated by ProVAL.
