Abstract:

The Pavement Surface Analysis Laboratory aids in the development of new, non-contact hardware and analysis techniques to quickly identify and quantify surface profile and texture parameters with minimal or no disruption to the highway user. From these traces/measurements, numerous pavement performance inferences can be derived concerning ride quality (roughness, smoothness, noise), safety (friction and geometry), and durability (roughness, deformation, and aggregate segregation).
