Development of an Integrated Survey Vehicle for Measuring Pavement SurfaceConditions at Highway Speeds. Volume 2: Technical Details

摘要

The objective of the study was to develop an integrated survey vehicle formeasuring pavement surface conditions at highway speeds. This was accomplished by determining the requirements and operating characteristics for such a system, preparing a design, and estimating initial and operating costs. The volume contains detailed information about the design, costs, specifications, and software associated with the integrated survey vehicle. The system drawings for the vehicle are provided. The name, part number, and cost of each part required to build the vehicle are listed. Estimates are provided for the costs of labor and materials required to manufacture custom components. The estimated cost of the vehicle (arranged by system) is presented. A complete software package was written (based on off-the-shelf software as well as software developed in-house). The in-house software is outlined and source listings are provided.
