Runway Groove Identification and Evaluation Using 1 mm 3D Image Data
Tire and pavement interaction is a critical focus for studying pavement functional performance and safety. For airplane landing or take-off, pavement grooving is increasingly used to prevent hydroplaning during wet weather. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular (AC) No. 150/5320-12C has specific requirements for pavement grooving dimensions and performance. Typically, the depth, width, and spacing of pavement surface grooves are a set of parameters to estimate the potential safety risks in the pavement and tire interaction. The groove geometric dimensions would vary over time due to traffic loading. Therefore, the evaluation of groove performance becomes a critical process for pavement safety study. Traditionally a point-laser ranger-based profiling system is used to measure pavement grooves. The groove identification and evaluation are conducted on one line-of-sight profile with this technique; however, this method cannot reflect the entire runway groove information due to the limited quantity of profiles that can be analyzed. This study presents the application of the newly developed 3D-laser imaging system called PaveVision3D at the National Airport Pavement Test Facility (NAPTF) of the FAA Tech Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In this research, a new groove identification methodology is proposed based on the 3D texture measured at 1 mm resolution. Any or all profiles on a runway can be used as input data to identify and evaluate grooves. A comparison study is made between the recommended groove configuration and the estimated groove dimensions from field data.
