N2 - As a part of the scientific-technical co-operation
between Finland and Hungary problems connected with
pavement serviceability and pavement condition evaluation
have been dealt with. The following themes were dealt
with in the jointly drawn up report: evaluation of
pavement serviceability, measuring methods and equipments
for structural serviceability of pavements, road data
bank, long-term observation of roads and pavement
distresses.
The Hungarian report states that there has been an
intensive research work on the themes in Hungary during
the last decade. Two basic levels of pavement evaluation
types are briefly introduced: a detailed condition rating
primarily for research purposes and a rapid, less
detailed condition rating for operational purposes. The
main characteristics of the sufficiency rating carried
out on the total Hungarian state highway network are
summarised. The Hungarian road data bank is just now
under development. A long-term observation of selected
highway sections has been carried out in Hungary since
1972. The method is explained. A catalogue has been
worked out for Pavement deficiencies in 1980. Some
retails of this catalogue are introduced here.
The Finnish report presents a background of
serviceability measurements in Finland. It states that
pavements serviceability evaluations are carried out for
several reasons: construction of a new road,
characterisation of load carrying capacity of the road
network, need for repaving, evenness of new pavement. The
following serviceability measurement methods are
introduced briefly: longitudinal evenness measurements,
wear measurements, cross fall characterisation, pavement
failures and visual inspections. The Finnish road data
bank was started in 1972 and includes at the moment 37
different data types.
A long-term observation of 50 highway sections was
started in 1979 and has been carried out since then. The
use of studded tyres affects the wear resistance and the
serviceability of pavements in Finland.
At the moment there are already apparatuses for the
evaluation of pavement serviceability that are easy to
use and they have enough capacity even for a systematic
evaluation of the road network. The systematic evaluation
of road condition has become an important factor when
considering the maintenance and the construction work.
The road data bank is an important factor in this work
and in it data about serviceability ought to be included.
