Outline
• Research Objectives & Plan
• 3D Laser Scanning
• Field Data
• Observations & Future Work
1
-
Research Objectives
• Establish certification test site
• Determine repeatability and accuracy of reference profiler (inclinometer)
• Develop procedures and guidelines for certification of inertial profilers
2
-
Background
• ODOT is implementing IRI-based incentive/disincentive program
• Certification on site proved difficult
• Inertial profilers were showing great repeatability, but did not meet AASHTO criteria

Research Plan
• Compare Methods• Inertial Profiler• Terrestrial LiDAR• Rod and Level• Inclinometer Profilers
• Develop Certification Procedure Guidelines• Pavement Texture Analysis
• Study Roughness and Aggregate Size

What is LiDAR?
Original Slide by: Evon Silvia - Oregon State University
D = 0.5c∆t• c = speed of light• ∆t = travel time
D
∆t
LiDAR = Light Detection and Ranging
-
Terrestrial LiDAR
• Time of Flight System• Produces 3D Point Cloud• ~5 mm Accuracy at 50 m• Data are Geo-referenced
• Targets• GPS

Laser Scanning Advantages• Multiple Profiles• Redundant Data
• Dense Point Cloud (1-5 cm Spacing)• Quick Data Acquisition• Improved Safety• Road Open to Traffic• Identify Localized Depressions• Continual Evaluation• As Built Survey Data
11
-
Laser Scanning Disadvantages• Individual measurements accurate to +/- 5mm
• Objects can block line of sight
• Field setup time
• Data processing requires training and time

• 528 ft Section• 6 Scan Positions
• Every 50 m• GPS used to
determine position• 5 Targets
• Every 50 m• Total station used to
determine position

Field Data - Workflow
• Obtain 3D point cloud• Prune data to roadway
• Statistically filter data to specified spacing
• Obtain profile using GIS
• Input data in ProVAL20

Observations
• Data between inclinometer profiler and laser scanner is offset• Offset gets larger
• Laser scan data filtered to 1 ft intervals• Visible noise in the data
• Starting points may not be exactly the same

Questions to Investigate
• Laser Scanning• Can the noise be smoothed out while taking
advantage of the dense data?• i.e. close point spacing
• Compare the profiles in ProVAL• Are IRI values consistent?• Do the distance vs. elevation plots agree?• What are the reasons for any discrepancies?

Future Work
• Obtain and compare additional profiles from test site• Laser Scanning• Inertial Profiler• Rod & Level
• Create procedures and guidelines for certification
