Roughmeter PDF

The Roughometer III is a portable device that uses an accelerometer mounted on a vehicle's axle to directly measure axle movement and provide objective and repeatable roughness measurements of roads. It eliminates uncertainties from vehicle variables and doesn't require calibration. The device collects roughness and GPS data over long distances and its software allows exporting data in customizable graphs, tables and maps.

ROUGHOMETER III

The Roughometer III is a response-type roughness device, complying to World


Bank Class 3 requirements. Unlike other devices in this class, the Roughometer
III eliminates the uncertainties associated with the vehicle (such as the vehicle’s
suspension or passenger weight) by directly measuring the axle movement with
a precision accelerometer. This means the Roughometer III does not need to be
calibrated experimentally to produce true International Roughness Index (IRI)
results.
Practical and easy-to-use, the Roughometer III provides a simple technique for

road quality assessment and has the advantage of an integrated GPS unit and the
ability to collect up to 13,000 km of data. Once a survey has been undertaken, the
Roughometer III processing software enables the data to be formatted into cus-
tom graphs, tables and maps.

Applications
■■ Provide objective data for true evaluation of the roughness level of the road
■■ Objectively compare and analyse which roads are in need of repair
■■ Monitoring roughness deterioration trends on both sealed and unsealed roads
