How Can NMDOT Use TSD Data to Support Pavement Design

TSD is a valuable technology for measuring surface deflections at short intervals and capturing data on roughness, texture, and rutting at traffic speed. Several highway agencies in the United States and other countries are currently either looking into how to use TSD data in their pavement management system (PMS) to ensure responsible expenditure of taxpayers’ dollars.
