Roughness-Induced Pavement–Vehicle Interactions [PDF]
Pavement roughness affects rolling resistance and thus vehicle fuel consumption. When a vehicle travels at constant speed on an uneven road surface, the mechanical work dissipated in the vehicle's suspension system is compensated by vehicle engine power and results in excess fuel consumption. This dissipation depends on both road roughness and vehicle

Assessment of Risky Cornering on a Horizontal Road Curve by Improving Vehicle Suspension Performance
Vehicle stability during cornering on horizontal road curves is a risky stage of travel because of additional factors acting. The main stability factor is centrifugal force, which depends on road curve sharpness and is very sensitive to driving speed ...

Good road quality is an indicator of urban progress. In August 1998, the New Taipei City government implemented the “Road Leveling Project” on roads within its jurisdiction to improve the quality of public transportation. This paper aimed to analyze the International Roughness Index (IRI) of 152 asphalt concrete pavement sections in New Taipei City ...

Effect of Proportion of Missing Data on Application of Data Imputation in Pavement Management Systems [PDF]
Missing data are commonly found in pavement condition/performance databases. A common practice today is to apply statistical imputation methods to replace the missing data with imputed values.

Bridge expansion joint in road transition curve: effects assessment on heavy vehicles [PDF]
Properly-designed road surfaces provide a durable surface on which traffic can pass smoothly and safely. In fact, the main causes that determine the structural decay of the pavement and its parts are the traffic loads.

Effects of Pavement Roughness on Rigid Pavement Stress
ABSTRACTPavement roughness causes pavement stress fluctuation along the road. However, the dynamic effects were not taken into account in most pavement design and studies. To investigate the influences of roadway roughness on pavement stresses, this study developed a coupled system consisting of a quarter-car model and an equivalent lump pavement model.
