This report describes a new method to obtain road profile estimates and the use of these estimates for obtaining serviceability index measurements. Two units were constructed implementing this method. The method takes into account the characteristics of the vehicle in which the measuring unit is installed. The units are in field test by the Department of Highways and Public Transportation. Initial evaluation of the method and data from the units are discussed.
