This report presents the results of a study by the Pennsylvania State University to demonstrate the feasibility of using a profile tracer to measure pavement macrotexture. Four test pavements -- part of the Pennsylvania Transportation Institute Skid Test facility -- were measured and spectrum analysis plots of the pavement profiles are presented. In addition, space frequency spectrum analyses of the profiles were generated and site-to-site comparisons were made. The results are presented in terms of their potential relationship to tire noise.
