Characterisation of pavement profile heights using accelerometer readings and a combinatorial optimisation technique

Harris, Niall K. ; González, Arturo ; O'Brien, Eugene J. ; McGetrick, P. (Elsevier, 2010-03)

Pavement surface profiles induce dynamic ride responses in vehicles which can potentially be used to classify road surface roughness. A novel method is proposed for the characterisation of pavement roughness through an ...
The use of vehicle acceleration measurements to estimate road roughness

González, Arturo ; O'Brien, Eugene J. ; Li, Yingyan ; Cashell, K. (2008-06)

Road roughness is a broad term that incorporates everything from potholes and cracks to the random deviations that exist in a profile. To build a roughness index, road irregularities need to be measured first. Existing ...
