Specialized Laboratory Unit ‐ Laboratory for Traffic Roads


GENERAL INFORMATION

Laboratory of transportation has equipment for recording pavement conditions, traffic counting  and traffic flow simulation. Modular road survey system consists of three high-resolution laser-profilers integrated on an aluminium beam that is mounted on the vehicle, a device for recording  geometric road parameters, a wide-angle HD camera, a GPS device, and software for data processing. This system enables the collection of data on road roughness (rutting, IRI index), macrotexture, position, longitudinal and transverse slopes, horizontal and vertical curvature, road equipment and the roadside area. Radar traffic counters collect data on the number and speed of vehicles by categories on a two-way two-lane road and provide the output data necessary for traffic flow analysis. The laboratory has simulation models for conducting  traffic analyses, comparing variant solutions and simulating different traffic flow scenarios.
