The ISO 13473-1 provides an equation to estimate Mean Texture Depth (MTD) from Mean Profile Depth (MPD) measurements. Many studies on determination of relations between MTD and MPD have been conducted, but they have not always given the same results. The aim of this work is to describe a data analysis procedure that can estimate MTD values by analysing pavement profiles recorded with stationary and mobile profilometers. For this purpose, a statistical analysis of MPD values obtained with a mobile profilometer was carried out in order to determine the right data analysis procedure; the directional properties of the surface texture were evaluated by analysing profiles recorded in directions: parallel, perpendicular and at 45° to the direction of traffic.

Abstract
The ISO 13473-1 provides an equation to estimate Mean Texture Depth (MTD) from Mean Profile Depth (MPD) measurements. Many studies on determination of relations between MTD and MPD have been conducted, but they have not always given the same results. The aim of this work is to describe a data analysis procedure that can estimate MTD values by analysing pavement profiles recorded with stationary and mobile profilometers. For this purpose, a statistical analysis of MPD values obtained with a mobile profilometer was carried out in order to determine the right data analysis procedure; the directional properties of the surface texture were evaluated by analysing profiles recorded in directions: parallel, perpendicular and at 45° to the direction of traffic.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
