This paper presents an alternative approach for interpreting data collected with the traffic speed deflectometer (TSD). Although the idea of measuring pavement deflections at traffic speeds in a continuous manner is not new, worldwide interest is recent, in part because of the availability of a commercial TSD device. As with any new device, there is a need for robust, scientifically sound, yet practical interpretation procedures. This paper describes the details of such a procedure recently developed at the Road and Bridge Research Institute in Poland. In addition to a detailed description of the proposed algorithm and its unique features, this study demonstrates an example application that uses data collected by the TSD operated by the Road and Bridge Research Institute. The proposed approach can be successfully applied to the TSD data and allows for deep customization for a user's and customer's needs and applications.
