ABSTRACT:
A method of resurfacing a road or the like wherein existing surface profile is first measured as a function of distance over the road surface. A desired profile is then identified as a function of measured road profile by simulating travel of a vehicle over the road surface and observing the quality of vehicle ride and/or pavement dynamic load while the spatial wavelength characteristics of measured profile are progressively attenuated. When ride quality and/or dynamic load of desired preselected standard is obtained, a resurface control signal is obtained as a conjoint function of distance along the road surface and the difference between measured profile and spatially attenuated profile. Road resurfacing equipment is also disclosed for selective removal of pavement surface material or selective deposition of paving material as a function of the control signal so obtained to achieve the desired resurfaced road profile.
