Automated Pavement Distress Data Collection Equipment Seminar

摘要

Pavement rehabilitation decisions require reliable performance data that can be used to establish current and predicted conditions of a highway system. Collection of this data by manual methods is usually costly, requires large amounts of manpower, involves high personnel safety risks, and tends to be very subjective and not very repeatable. The development of automated procedures that use cameras and microcomputer technology is proving to be an aid in solving many of these problems.nA seminar sponsored by the FHWA, Iowa DOT, and Iowa State University was held on June 12-15, 1900 in Ames, Iowa. This seminar provided a look at the state-of-the-art in automated pavement distress data collection equipment and analysis systems. Several equipment manufacturers were present to demonstrate the use of their systems.nThis proceedings includes copies of all the presented papers, a list of seminar participants, summary information and sample output for several devices, and questions/answers concerning the topic.
