Abstract:

This techbrief discusses the Researchers in the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program are conducting a major data collection effort. They are using an inertial profiler to collect longitudinal profile data at regular intervals on two wheelpaths located along the LTPP program test sections. In the LTPP
program, the United States and Canadian Provinces are divided into four regions for the purposes of data collection, and a regional support contractor (RSC) operates an inertial profiler in each region.
