Summary

Inspection and evaluation		Planning and design		Research and development
Data collection vehicle enables pavement cracking, rutting and evenness measurements using digital pavement imaging system and laser profiler system without traffic control.				Environmental effects such as surface temperature of pavement to mitigate the urban heat island are measured and evaluated.

Detailed information

Inspection and evaluation

Pavement Surface Inspection

Pavement surface is inspected using data collection vehicle. This vehicle simultaneously collects digital images of the pavement surface and measures longitudinal profile and transverse one.

Pavement Structure Evaluation

Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) enables non-destructive pavement structural evaluation.

Pavement Performance Diagnosis and Evaluation

Noise reduction property and permeability of porous asphalt pavement are evaluated using tire pavement noise vehicle and newly developed permeability testing device.

Planning and design

Economical Pavement Planning

We provide feasible maintenance and rehabilitation strategy based on the analysis the role of roads: highway through community road.

Pavement for High Volume Road

We consider long-lasting pavement in the light of life-cycle cost as well as green pavement (low-noise, low-vibration and so forth).

Pavement at Specific Location

We consider applying the right pavement in the right place, for instance cracking and/or stripping controlled pavement for bridge, light-colored pavement for tunnel.

Research and development

Research into new pavement technology

We are actively involved in research into recycling technology, pavement to mitigate urban heat island and other environmental issues.
