18、tion of longitudinal and transverse profile measure-ment lines shall be established. The location shall be recordedso that it may be reproduced another time.4.2 As the rolling inclinometer is moved along the measure-ment line, an on-board computer sequentially collects andsaves slope and distance da

19、ta from the inclinometer and wheelsensor.4.3 Starting at one end of a measurement line, elevationdifferences are automatically summed in the direction of travelto create a one-way run elevation profile along the line.4.4 Selected roughness indices, such as those listed in Table1, are calculated, and

20、 displayed by the onboard computerscreen; and also road “roughness/smoothness” and “must grindareas” can be reported in printed graphical and tabular reportform.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method establishes procedures for collectingelevation and distance data of longitudinal and transverse

21、profiles on a traveled surface.5.2 Results of this test are used primarily to:5.2.1 Evaluate the roughness of traveled surfaces, using anyof several roughness indices shown in Table 1. Equationsrequired for calculations of various indexes are contained inreferences shown in Table 1.NOTE 1When this t

22、est is used to evaluate the compliance of a newpavement surface with contract roughness specifications, the timeliness ofthe test in relation to the date of the surfaces installation is of criticalimportance. Since most Portland cement concrete surfaces will changeshape within a few days after insta

23、llationdue to changes in thermal andmoisture gradients which cause curling at joints and cracks and slabedgesfor contractor quality control only, it may be desirable to gatherprofile data within 72 h after pavement installation.5.2.2 Investigate the effect of different construction methodson resulti

24、ng pavement surface roughness.5.2.3 Investigate the curvature of (1) pavement surfaces dueto curling, and (2) deflection of structural members withinbridges and other structures.5.2.4 Identify the locations in need of corrective grinding.5.2.5 Measure rut depth using computer simulation in ac-cordan

25、ce with Test Method E1703/E1703M.6. Apparatus6.1 Rolling Inclinometer, with fixed wheelbase spacing. Aninclinometer is mounted such that it can measure verticalslopes (based on voltage output) along a line connecting thecenters of the single front and single rear wheels. These slopesare converted to

26、 elevation difference by use of trigonometricformulas. The inclinometer chassis is pushed at a uniformwalking speed (avoiding rapid speed changes), along a mea-surement line. Distance traveled is measured by a wheelrotation sensor.6.2 Inclinometer Chassis DeviceAn inclinometer shall bemounted on a c

27、hassis supported by a single front and a singlerear wheel in line with each other, such that the chassis is freeto rotate in a vertical plane as it travels along the desired profileline, collecting slope measurements at specified data spacing.6.3 Inclinometer Wheelbase SpacingRolling inclinometercha

28、ssis wheelbase spacing is to be in the range of 150 to 250mm (6 to 10 in.) The minimum wheelbase is chosen toencourage the use of large diameter wheels that will be lesssensitive to imperfections in surface texture of the road. Themaximum spacing is chosen to be less than one-half thesmallest wavele

29、ngth sensitivity of a road roughness index. Forexample, the RN is sensitive to wavelengths as short as 0.5 m(1.5 ft). Other wheelbase spacing may be used when differentdata spacing is required for a specific purpose.6.4 Data Spacing shall be an integer multiple of inclinom-eter wheelbase ranging fro

30、m 150 to 250 mm (6 to 10 in.).6.5 Data Reading shall be conducted according to one of thefollowing procedures:6.5.1 A series of slope readings shall be taken and averagedin a manner suitable to record at minimum one elevation valueat each data reading interval from the start of data collection tothe

31、 end of data collection. The Data Reading Interval shall notbe longer than 50 mm because accurate measurement of theRide Number Index requires a sample interval of 50 mm orshorter per NCHRP Report 434. The average of the series ofslope measurements shall be saved as the recorded datareading.6.5.2 As

32、eries of slope readings shall be taken over the entiremeasurement session at a data reading interval such that thedata spacing interval is an integer multiple of the data readinginterval. The data spacing interval as a minimum shall be fivetimes the data reading interval. The collected slope reading

33、shall be filtered with a suitable low-pass digital filter andTABLE 1 Wavelength Sensitivity for Various Road RoughnessIndicesIndex Name Wavelength SensitivityASTMReferenceRide Number (RN) 0.5 to 11.0 m (1.5 to 36.0 ft) E1489Intl Roughness Index (IRI) 1.3 to 30.0 m (4.3 to 98.4 ft) E19264 m (12 ft) C

Propulsion may be byhand or motor. Travel speed shall b

36、e in the range of 1.5 to 5km/h (1 to 3 mph), avoiding rapid speed changes. Provisionshall be made to correct for changes in velocity.6.8 Compensating for Velocity ChangesSince inclinom-eters are very sensitive to horizontal acceleration anddeceleration, a suitable compensation algorithm must be de-v

37、eloped to correct slope data at the end of each run. Thevelocity of the apparatus throughout the measurements shall berecorded and saved with the recorded slope measurementpoints. The horizontal acceleration/deceleration shall be calcu-lated for each recorded measurement point. The inclinometererror

38、 shall be calculated from the acceleration/deceleration dataand the recorded slope measurement data corrected.6.9 Data FilteringData from one-way surveys shall befiltered with a second order Butterworth filter, or a filterappropriate for the index being calculated, to calculate rough-ness indexes an

39、d to display filtered profiles (for the purpose ofshowing location of bumps).6.10 Unfiltered Data from two-way (closed loop) surveysshall be used to generate elevation profiles of measurementlines. Accuracy of unfiltered profiles shall be within 6 3mm/50 m, plus level error. The reference elevation

40、profile shallbe derived under similar temperature conditions and shall bethe average of three readings at each data reading point, usingan accepted rod and level reference profile measuring method.6.11 Operating ConditionsDevice shall be capable ofoperating in environments with 0 to 90 % relative hu

Establishing Measurement Lines7.1 Measurement Test Line LocationsData may be col-lected on a line or lines placed anywhere on the pavement orother surface, wherever elevation profiles or roughness indicesare desired. For most analysis, the lines will b

42、e located alongwheel paths, or will be transverse to the longitudinal directionof the traveled surface. Longitudinal wheel path lines may bestraight or curved to follow the geometry of the traveledsurface, while transverse measurement lines should normallybe straight. Distance of test lines from joi

43、nts or pavement edgeshall be part of the recorded data.8. Procedure8.1 CalibrationFollow manufacturers recommended cali-bration procedure.8.2 Define Location of Measurement LinesTo ensure reli-able and repeatable data the device shall follow the measure-ment line with a tolerance of 6 25 mm (1 in.).

44、8.3 Profile Data Collection:8.3.1 Sign ConventionPositive slope values indicate achange in elevation opposite to gravity. Negative valuesindicate a change in elevation in the direction of gravity.8.3.2 Longitudinal Profiles in Wheel PathsIf a longitudi-nal measurement line lies in a left or right wh

45、eel path, the startpoints of the left and right line shall be established on a lineperpendicular to the pavement edge unless otherwise stated inreport. A unique identification must be given to each measure-ment line together with all other information required for report(see Section 9).8.3.2.1 Colle

46、ct the elevation differences along the left andright wheel paths. To prevent confusion in interpreting andanalyzing the profiles later, it is suggested that one-way runs bemade in the same direction as the traffic flow. Devices with amirror imaging feature can be used to efficiently reorient aprofil

47、e to the direction of traffic.8.4 Calculate Roughness Indices and Must-Grind Areas:8.4.1 Specify one or more indices as shown in Table 1 andspecify an acceptable range for the index. Specify measure-ment line length and maximum line length for calculatingroughness indexes if they are to be calculate

48、d at regulardistances along each measurement line, as well as for the entiremeasurement line. References in Table 1 contain the necessaryformulas for calculation of indices.8.4.1.1 Calculate required Roughness Index for each mea-surement line using slope or elevation data that is collected byrolling

49、 inclinometer device.8.4.2 Specify the following parameters for calculating“must grind” areas (from California Profilograph data): seg-ment length, blanking band, template length, defect height,safety margin.9.
