The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is in the process of evaluating the protocols for collecting and analyzing roughness data. As part of that evaluation, a nationwide survey was performed to identify the trends and practices of various departments of transportation with regard to roughness data collection and analysis. All responding states indicated interest in obtaining the results of the survey, which was mailed to all 50 state departments of transportation. The responses show that most states are using laser-type road profilers for roughness measurements. The international roughness index (IRI) is the most widely used roughness index. Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) data from different states are collected by using different equipment, and the data are collected in various wheelpaths and filtered differently. Stricter guidelines should be developed to ensure the consistency of HPMS data.
