DETERMINATION OF THE ROUGHNESS TYPE FOR ROAD PROFILES

Application of road roughness measurement results in pavement surface investigation and meaningful influence of the roughness on pavement performance, road user comfort, etc., makes it important to compare methods aimed at estimating the type and level of the road roughness. This paper presents comparative analysis of some methods for roughness type estimating based on the application of statistical methods. It shows noticeable efficiency and practical applicability in estimation of the roughness type of the road profiles.
