On-road measurement

VTI conduct several different kinds of measurement for determining the condition of the road and developments there. Road here refers to the entire construction including the road surface.

The measurements are intended to determine the condition of the road surface with regards to evenness, geometry and friction as well as the structural condition of the road in terms of rigidity and damage. Together with other tests and laboratory analyses, these measurements can constitute an excellent description of the condition of the road and can therefore form the basis for research and provide important guidance when decisions are made to do with future use and operation and maintenance.

We conduct measurements within:

Evenness and geometry

Friction

  • Measurement of friction (More information coming soon)

Structural condition, bearing capacity
