From page 44...
...  The repeatability tests described here provide useful insight into the limitations of roller MV data in QA specifications, particularly the spatial comparison of pass-to-pass roller MV. As described in Section 2.3.2, one Austrian and ISSMGE specification approach for roller-integrated CCC examines the pass-to-pass change in mean MV (averaged over the evaluation section)

A review of the roller MV records presented in this chapter illustrates that soil properties vary, sometimes considerably, within a length scale of tenths of a meter (one-third of a foot)
From page 51...
...   3.7 Conclusions and Recommendations The following conclusions can be drawn from the results presented in this chapter: • Each vibration-based roller MV investigated -- Ammann and Case/Ammann k s , Bomag E vib , Dynapac CMV D , and Sakai CCV -- is a reflection of soil stiffness over a spatial distance that varies across MVs [0.06 to 1.0 m (0.2 to 3.3 ft) observed]

...  sequences, there is considerable benefit to using roller MVs in both forward and reverse modes. Forward and reverse mode measurement should be considered; however, sitespecific calibration is required to characterize and verify the relationship between forward-measuring and reversemeasuring roller MVs.
