Using of 3D Road Surface Model for Monitoring of Transverse Unevenness and Skid Resistance

AbstractQualitative characteristics of pavement in wide range reflects the pavement serviceability, which is a summary of the characteristics of the pavement, providing a fast, smooth, economical and especially safe driving of motor-vehicles. The target factor of pavement serviceability and safety of roads represents the quality of their surface properties. Within the Research Center of the University of Žilina are dealing among others with scanning the pavement surface in order to monitor the individual parameters of pavement serviceability. This paper deals with the creation, analysis and evaluation of 3D- road surface model in terms of two properties pavement serviceability – the rut depth and its texture
