Airport Pavement Roughness Index Relationships Using the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Profiling System
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airport pavement profiling system is introduced. This system consists of an inertial profiling device specifically designed for measuring longitudinal elevation profiles of airport pavements and a computer program for analyzing the measured profiles and computing roughness and smoothness index values. Profiles were measured at sixteen airports using the profiling device and straightedge index values were computed using the associated software. The index values were calculated using computer simulations of two types of straightedge (normal and rolling), four different straightedge lengths (9.8-, 12,-, 16-, and 25-ft), and two different procedures for finding the maximum profile deviations from the straightedge (along the full length of the straightedge and between the supports). Reliable relationships between the index values for different straightedge configurations are developed. The relationships between rolling and normal straightedge indexes are somewhat less reliable than those between different configurations of normal straightedges, indicating that the rolling straightedge has somewhat different evaluation characteristics than the normal straightedges.
