Airport pavements and longitudinal elevation profiles, in conjunction with the aircraft, form a system where vertical displacements are produced that can compromise their performance. Rough pavements are generally responsible for the occurrence of dynamic responses such as vertical accelerations and pavement loads that affect the aircraft, increase stopping distance and difficult to read the cockpit instrumentation. To approach this problem, the International Roughness Index (IRI) and the Boeing Bump Index (BBI) are currently used to quantify airport pavement roughness and to identify sections that need maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) activities. However, such indices were developed only based on the dynamic responses of an automobile ...
