Abstract:

This report focuses on the development of a methodology for determining an end-result smoothness specification for use on newly constructed flexible and rigid pavements. Details of the experimental study and data analysis undertaken to define acceptance levels using several criteria are presented, along with necessary guidelines that can be used for the training of personnel involved in the implementation of the smoothness specifications. Finally, the report correlates profile index with other roughness indices.
