Guidelines for Conducting and Calibrating Road Roughness Measurements
Road roughness is gaining increasing importance as an indicator of road condition, both in terms of road pavement performance, and as a major determinant of road user costs. This need to measure roughness has brought a plethora of instruments on the market, covering the range from rather simple devices to quite complicated systems. The paper defines roughness measurement systems hierachically into four groups, ranging from profilometric methods (2 groups) - being accurate and most amenable to detailed analysis - through response-type road roughness measuring systems (RTRRMS's) - representing the most widely used, practical and fast instruments - to subjective evaluation - allowing assessments to be made without use of instruments. The general planning of road roughness measurement programs is outlined, as well as the criteria for selection of measurement system to meet the objective.
