• Abstract:
  Many in the asphalt industry believe that initial pavement smoothness directly relates to ; pavement life. Public perception of smoothness is also important. Oregon is interested in ; determining the appropriate method of measurement to quantify smoothness in terms of ; performance and public perception. Several smoothness indices exist, however, they need to be ; compared and evaluated for application in Oregon. ; A literature search was undertaken to identify publications having information on indices and ; equipment used to measure the pavement smoothness. The majority of sources identified were ; contained in the National Cooperative Highway Research Program Project 1-31, Smoothness ; Specifications for Pavements, published in March 1997. Project 1-31, therefore, became the ; primary source of report information.
