Advanced Rapid Travel Profile Analyses: Fundamental Calculus
Track Title
Pavements
Event Description/Abstract
This presentation provides an overview of rapid travel profile analysis routines that are calculus and statistics based. Road profile analysis is an excellent platform for demonstrating the power of fundamental calculus and statistics. Detailed analysis of the first derivative of the profile data (slope variation) provides an analysis of slab tilt related to under-slab erosion caused by pumping. Analysis of the second derivative of the profile data describes curling and warping in concrete slabs.
