    Evaluation of the PRORUT Equipment to Measure Road Profile and Rutting

    New search for: D. G. Richardson

    The study evaluated the device constructed by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute known as the PRORUT. A correlation was performed between the PRORUT and the Georgia modified Mays meter trailer (GMMT) to evaluate the PRORUT's ability to measure roughness and manual measurements of rutting to compare the device's ability to detect rutting. A total of 48 test sites were selected for the correlation study encompassing a variety of roughness levels and pavement surface types. The correlation results for the PRORUT versus GMMT were good. The correlation of rut was not good. Even though the profile measuring system and computer programs are very innovative, the rut depth measuring system should be re-evaluated.
