Improving the Quality of Highway Profile Measurement

The goal of the proposed pooled fund study “is to continue and extend the work of TPF-5(063) and TPF-5(354)”, which was led by the Federal Highway Administration and South Dakota DOT, respectively. The project will enable states and FHWA to: 1) identify data integrity and quality issues associated with measuring and analyzing pavement profiles; 2) suggest approaches to addressing identified problems; 3) initiate and monitor projects to address identified problems; 4) disseminate results; 5) assist in solution deployment. OBJECTIVES: 1) Deliver sample procurement specifications and maintenance guidelines; 2) Direct and support development and maintenance of pavement profile analysis software; 3) Implement criteria for profile verification that include emerging technologies (e.g., low-speed profilers, start and stop profilers, and non-inertial profilers); 4) Verify pavement profile reference devices; 5) Develop and deliver profiler operation and profile analysis training; 6) Implement methods for maximizing the use of pavement profiles for network, project, and forensic analysis, with a focus on cutting-edge methodologies; 7) Provide technical support for the Road Profile Users’ Group and conduct annual face-to-face meetings in conjunction with the group.
