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 ...
Reduction of bridge dynamic amplification through adjustment of vehicle suspension damping

Harris, Niall K. ; O'Brien, Eugene J. ; González, Arturo (Elsevier, 2007-05)

This paper presents a novel approach to the reduction of short-span bridge dynamic responses to heavy vehicle crossing events. The reductions are achieved through adjustment of the vehicle suspension damping coefficient ...
The use of Bayesian Statistics to predict patterns of spatial repeatability

Wilson, Simon P. ; Harris, Niall K. ; O'Brien, Eugene J. (Elsevier, 2006-10)

Statistical spatial repeatability (SSR) is an extension to the well known concept of spatial repeatability. SSR states that the mean of many patterns of dynamic tyre force applied to a pavement surface is similar for a ...
