Transverse Profiling System
The Ames Transverse Profiling System is the latest innovation to complete your asset management data collection. It collects the entire lane width as you drive, and can be used to measure many roadway features, including - rutting, lane markings, visual crack inspection and edge drop-offs.
The system uses a single laser and high speed camera to capture 3D transverse profile data at highway speeds. Capable of being either integrated with our High Speed Profiler or used as a standalone unit, it easily installs onto your host vehicle making it one of the most cost effective solutions for pavement condition data collection.
System Overview
