Determination of Pavement Roughness Using Bump-Integrator: State-of-Theart- Review

Abstract

This paper includes the review of research paper consisting various methods for finding unevenness of the road. This paper also consist the current practices used in India for measurement of pavement surface roughness and describes various equipment which are deployed for the collection of such data. unevenness is generally defined as an expression of irregularities in the pavement surface which can be measured using various equipment’s like MERLIN, Bump integrator, Profilometer etc. This paper is an effort to collect all the various methods used by the researchers in past to conduct the pavement unevenness and the analysis of the data extracted which would provide the best suited methods for varying roadway irregularities in context to NHs (National Highways), SHs (State Highways).
