It is argued that the presence of pulses in pavement profiles could be a significant factor in subjective response to road roughness, but no firm evidence could be found to support the proposal. The synthesis of pavement profiles for use in computer simulations is also discussed, and Were is reason to suppose that the simple random process frequently used to describe pavement surfaces is a poor mode} of profile characteristics for many pavements.

There is evidence that currently constructed pavement surfaces new or overlaid are not always berg built to the desired level of ride quality. This is primarily due to inadequate specifications and acceptance testing for pavement smoothness.

This paper summarizes the results of the research that led up to the clevelopment of these specifications, describes the potential accuracy and validity of this instrument in measuring pavement roughness and predicting rideability- including comparisons with a profiIometer and summarizes its design specifications. This instrument would retain the advantages of the profilometer in terms of accuracy and validity in predicting pavement rideability from pavement roughness measurements, while also retaining He advantages of a response-type roughness measuring system in terms of low cost, ease of use, and data analysis.

It will be illustrated that using longitudinal profiles has far greater utilizer than simply determining pavement roughness. The winter and summer longitudinal profiles of Tree sites from each of three projects are presented to illustrate how these data can be used to determine cause of deterioration, appropriate maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction treatments to improve ride quality, and cause of surface roughness.
