to make the device practically free from the effects of the vertical
motion of the vehicle. A mechanical integrator makes cumulative
measurements of the unidirectional vertical movement of the wheel
relative to the chassis. The distance travelled is measured by a
distance measuring unit. The test is conducted at a speed of 32
I km/hour. Unevenness/roughness Index is defined as the ratio of
the cumulative vertical displacement to the distance travelled and is
expressed in mm/km.

and the corresponding reference values for each section are recorded
through any of the above mentioned calibration devices for developing
the calibration. At each test site a number of runs are made till at
least three sets of consistent data are obtained. Average of the three
values is taken as the representative roughness value of the section.

3. PROCEDURE
The Dipstick Profiler stands on two support legs. The operator
simply Valks" the Dipstick along a survey line alternately pivoting
*
the instrument about each leg. In less than an hour, one technician
can measure, record and analyze upto 600 equally spaced, co-
linear elevation points to an accuracy of 0.15 mm per reading.
Dipstick surveys take less than half the time and are more accurate
than both optic and laser surveys. Data analysis is fully computerized.

2. EQUIPMENT
MERLIN has a rigid frame 1 .8 metre long with a wheel in
front, a curved foot at the rear and a probe mid-way between the
two which rests on the road surface. If the road surface was
perfectly smooth, the probe would always lie on a straight line
between the bottom of the wheel and the rear foot. On an uneven
road surface the probe would usually be displaced above or below
the line. A computer simulation shows that the spread of these
displacements could be used to estimate on the standard roughness
scale.

ROD AND LEVEL METHOD
1. INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the rod and level
method for the
calibration of bump integrator.
2. EQUIPMENT
The equipment required are as under:
Dumpy level
A Graduated Rod
3. PROCEDURE
3. L The procedure is as follows:
A line close to the road centerline preferably at wheel
path, is randomly selected.
Elevation in mm
at every 300 mm
interval for a 120 metre
long sections corresponding to the minimum
and maximum
wavelength which affects significantly the dynamic
response of a negotiating vehicle are taken.
