Recommendations for Improvements to Smoothness Specifications
The research findings listed above have significant Implications to existing
specifications. In addition, through the conduct of Me research, many other
suggestions for Improvements to existing smoothness specifications have become
apparent. These recommendations are summarized below.
1. Continue using pavement smoothness specifications, as they are effective in
obtaining improved levels of ~rutial pavement smoothness and ~rutial
smoothness has been related positively to extensions to pavement life.
Re-evaluate the suitability of current initial smoothness levels. Based on the
results of this study, the most cost-effective smoothness levels for new
pavement construction are between O and 5.5 ~n/mi (0 and 0.09 m/km) for
new PCC pavement construction and between O and 3.5 in/ml (0 and 0.06
m/km) for new AC pavement construction. Highway agencies are
encouraged to evaluate their own specifications in conjunction with
smoothness-life relationships for families of pavements in Weir States.
3. Concurrent with Me evaluation of Axial smoothness levels, incentive and
disincentive provisions need to be re-evaluated to more accurately reflect Me
true benefits or disbenefits of Me achieved crucial smoothness level. In
comparison with actual current pay adjustment curves, the theoretical pay
adjustment curves developed In this study showed, on the whole, much
greater incentive amounts and much more punitive disincentive amounts.
To ensure the ability to accurately measure pavement surface profiles In the
wavelength ranges necessary for cleterm~ning the recommended statistics,
equipment used for measuring initial pavement smoothness should meet the
requirements listed In table 51.
5. The equipment used for measuring ~rutial pavement smoothness should be
maneuverable, lightweight, and measure profiles and compute indices rapidly.
6. Computerized data storage, analysis, calibration, and reporting capabilities
should be strongly encouraged to improve accuracy and provide Me
contractor anti State win immediate access to the smoothness information.
7. Retain the PI as the initial pavement smoothness index for current
specifications, while reducing Me blanking band to 0.l and 0.0 In (2.5 and 0.0
mm), and move toward basing the index on computer-mocleled profiles from
~nertial-based profiling systems.
8. Do not move toward an ~rutial-smoothness specification based on IR] under
the assumption of improver! correlation with user response. However, a
transition to TR] as a means of providing correlation with Me currently used
pavement management system index may be justified.
