The State Materials Office (SMO) of the Florida

Department of Transportation (FDOT) performs

annual Pavement Condition Surveys (PCS) of

the Department’s extensive pavement network.

This work is performed by single-person crews in

inertial roadway profilers capable of measuring

rutting, faulting, and ride quality while traveling

at prevailing traffic speeds. Information from

these measurements along with the inspector’s

evaluations and notations of pavement distresses

are entered into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet

located in an onboard computer. The template for

this spreadsheet contains macros to perform basic

error checking and integration of the automated

and visual data.
