Characterization of Pavement Texture by Use of Surface Profiles - Part 5: Determination of Megatexture
Also Known As:
The DIN EN ISO 13473-5 standard focuses on a method that allows for the measurement and evaluation of pavement surface texture. This method specifically aims to determine the deviation of the surface between macrotexture and unevenness by providing indicators that characterize megatexture.
The standard follows a well-defined procedure for determining and quantifying megatexture, which refers to the large-scale roughness of a pavement surface. By using surface profiles, this method can accurately assess the megatexture of a pavement surface, providing valuable information for various applications such as road safety and vehicle performance.
The standard emphasizes the importance of accurately characterizing megatexture as it plays a significant role in influencing vehicle-pavement interaction and overall road quality. By providing indicators for megatexture, this standard enables the evaluation and comparison of different pavement surfaces, helping to ensure the construction and maintenance of safe and high-quality roadways.
