| Summary | Roadway roughness is a major element of riding comfort. The superintendents of roadway always maintain the roadway via roughness index which was inspected by roughness profiler. The aims of this project are to improve the effectiveness of roughness measurement instrument and to evaluate the practicability of it. An Inertia Profiler equipment was developed to measure the International Roughness Index (IRI) and Ride Number (RN). The RN is similar to the Present Serviceability Index (PSI) and can be used as the Pavement Riding Quality Index (PRQI). Besides, a personal carried data recording equipment for site investigations was performed in this project, it could help the estimation of roadway quality. In Taiwan, there are many Pavement Management Systems (PMS) developed by local highway superintendents, but these systems are not suitable for a network level in the central government. The existed resources of PMS and database systems had been integrated with Global Information System (GIS) in this project. By developing the standard module into the prototype system, it would be suitable for the country-wide PMS. |
