Abstract

A technologically advanced multifunctional measuring device is described and its use in the road condition analysis and prediction of road behavior is commented. The device is called the Automatic Road Analyzer (ARAN) and it enables rapid, accurate and cost-efficient gathering of consistently reliable information. The device detects cracks, measures longitudinal and transverse evenness of pavement, analyzes friction at the driving surface, provides video logs for the road survey office, GPS coordinates, etc. The information obtained in this way represents a basis for the systematic performance of road maintenance and road management activities.
