Abstract:The objectives of this project were to assess the capabilities that are needed in a road profilometer and develop a design tailored to minimize life costs of the system. This led to the development of a system based on the IBM PC microcomputer. With the exception of a signal conditioning unit, the system is constructed from commercial components. The software controls the measurement of road profile and rut depth, the viewing of the data, and daily checks of the hardware integrity. This document is the reference manual for the system--presently known as the PRORUT system. The manual in intended to document the software and hardware components of the system, and is of special interest to the technical staff responsible for maintenance, repair, or modification of the system when required. There are three companion reports prepared as part of the same project. One gives an overview of the project (FHWA/RD-87/042), another is the PRORUT User's manual (FHWA/RD-87/043), and the third describes the validation of the system along with other profilometers at a profilometer meeting (FHWA/RD-86/100).
