ABSTRACT:
A light weight, bi-directional, computerized profilograph is disclosed. The bi-directional profilograph includes an odometer for measuring the horizontal movement of the profilograph in either a first direction or a second direction, and a road surface measuring device for measuring a road surface profile while the profilograph is traveling in either the first direction or the second direction. A computation device is also included for plotting the profile of the road surface versus the horizontal movement of the profilograph while the profilograph is traveling in either the first direction or the second direction.
