    Automated Cross-Slope and Drainage Path Method: Aashto

    Uploaded by

    Hamza
    The document describes an automated method for assessing pavement cross-slopes and drainage paths using a Multi-Purpose Survey Vehicle (MPSV) and analysis software. The MPSV collects pavement data using laser sensors, accelerometers, and GPS, which is then analyzed by the Automated Cross-Slope Analysis Program (ACAP) to calculate drainage path lengths and identify areas prone to hydroplaning. The method provides a fast, safe, and cost-effective alternative to traditional surveys. Case studies demonstrate how the analyses helped transportation agencies develop preventive and long-term solutions to improve drainage and safety.
