The Hawkeye 2000 Series Digital Laser Profiler (DLP) can be configured with a variety of sensors to enable the collection of data to provide roughness results in International Roughness Index (IRI), Ride Number (RN), Rut Depth, Mean Profile Depth (MPD), Sensor Measured Texture Depth (SMTD) and other indices.
The system includes a vehicle mounted measurement beam which is used to house the measurement sensors with a variety of lasers and laser/accelermeter combinations in positions determined by the user. For transverse profile measurements, side-mounted lasers can be fitted to ensure the overall physical dimensions of the measurement beam do not exceed the maximum legal vehicle width. An accurate Distance Measuring Instrument (DMI) combined with the Heartbeat module is used to precisely lock the data to chainage. The system is also typically linked with GPS, geometry and video cameras.
Applications:
- Network Level surveys with international standard results for pavement management systems
- Accurate quality assessments for contractors and contract managers
- Baseline surveys
- Contract validation
