Last years witnessed the growth of demand for road monitoring systems based on image or video analysis. These systems usually consist of a survey vehicle equipped with photo and video cameras, laser scanners and other instruments. Sensors mounted on the van collect different types of data while the vehicle goes along the road. Recorded video can be geographically referenced with the help of glo...

Good quality base and sub-base material for road pavement construction is becoming increasingly scarce. Dolerite is one of the more abundant natural road building materials in South Africa. Yet, it seems that the road design and construction fraternity shy away from using it in favour of more expensive commercially produced crushed material – and so artificially increase the scarcity of natural...

This work presents a hydraulic anti-lock braking system (ABS) for a motorcycle. The ABS has a hydraulic modulator and an intelligent controller. The hydraulic modulator is analyzed, and then equipped on a scooter for road tests. The intelligent controller controls the hydraulic modulator by estimated vehicle velocity to calculate the slip ratio of the wheels in real time. The performance of the...

The present paper deals with a view of the availability of high-speed sensor profilers, which has given dramatically increased possibilities to analyze imperfections in pavement surfaces such as roughness. Technical parameters of such profilers, for sensing and analyzing pavement surface profile are described. In addition, the main investigation concentrates on the evolutional process of paveme...

The aim of the article is an improvement abrasion resistance materials road pavements and giving practical recommendations during pavement designing to construction organizations. Prall Test method was used identify factors influencing wear asphalt concrete. Studied mixtures are typical for highway in Russian Federation Republic Tatarstan. influence such as type mix, size aggregate, binder qual...

The central purpose of the research is to support the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Quieter Pavement Research Program, which has as its goals and objectives the identification of quieter, safer asphalt pavement surfaces. The research conforms with Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidance provided to state departments of transportation (DOTs) that conduct tire/pavement...

The permafrost degradation is the fundamental cause generating embankment diseases and pavement diseases in permafrost region while the permafrost degradation is related with temperature. Based on the field monitoring results of ground temperature along G214 Highway in high temperature permafrost regions, both the ground temperatures in superficial layer and the annual average temperatures unde...
