Continuous deflection-measuring devices, or continuous deflectometers, are increasingly being used to support project-level and network-level pavement management decisions. Continuous deflectometers are nondestructive pavement evaluation devices that measure pavement deflections caused by a moving load. Some continuous deflectometers can measure with little to no traffic control; this feature makes them more advantageous to use than stationary devices, such as the falling weight deflectometer. The current technologies implemented in different types of deflectometers are discussed, and the most promising devices for supporting network-level pavement management decisions are identified. In that respect, two devices (the rolling wheel deflectometer and the traffic speed deflectometer) have shown promising results and are being evaluated further under Project R06 (F) of SHRP 2.
