Fifth Wheel Bump Integrator

Indicator of roughness
Response Type Roughness Measuring Meter (RTRMM)
towed by a vehicle and the vehicle travels at a constant speed of 32km/hr and
under a standard tyre pressure of 2.1kg/cm2
The vertical movement of the suspension system of roughness meter is
measured and accumulated with distance travelled
Merlin

•Machine for Evaluating Roughness using Low-cost Instrumentation

•Wheeled along the road and measures surface undulations at regular intervals
• Readings are easily taken and there is a graphical procedure for data analysis so
that road roughness can be measured on a standard roughness scale without the need
for complex calculation
 Benkelman Beam Deflection Test

Measures deflections in the

pavement under moving load
The Benkelman Beam deflections
were measured at 20 points in each
kilometer, staggered at 50 meter
interval in both directions with
truck having rear axle load of 8.17
tonnes and tyre pressure of 5.6
kg/cm2.
Unevenness index=bumps in cm/length of section in km
