Abstract:The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) routinely collects response data from pavement sensors as part of its pavement research studies. The largest source of response data is collected at the Minnesota Road Research (MnROAD) facility. To efficiently extract peak and baseline values from dynamic sensor responses, the University of Minnesota in 2001 developed an automated process for Mn/DOT researchers using the MATLAB program. As time went on, sensor data format and computer operating system changes resulted in antiquation of the original peak-picking program. In 2006, the University of Minnesota was again secured to update the program using a current version of MATLAB. Significant improvements were also made toward automating the peak and baseline response selection, and accommodating flexible data input types. This report combines the task reports and program user guide from the project into one source, to serve as a reference for future changes in the program. The computer program developed in this project has significantly increased dynamic response data processing from MnROAD and other pavement research studies.
