Welcome to the RPUG Website
The purpose of the Road Profiler Users' Group (RPUG) is to serve as a forum for the exchange of information between end users, data collectors, vendors, construction and design engineers and researchers who have an interest in road profiles, road roughness/smoothness, pavement surface textures, friction, and tire-pavement noise.
The RPUG Steering Committee met in July 2009 and elected Kevin McGhee as the new president and George Chang as the new vice president.
2009 Meeting and Blogs
We had a fantastic RPUG 2009 meeting from Dec. 9 to Dec. 11. All presentations are posted on the 2009 Meeting page. But.. do not let the conversation stop here.. then wait for the next meeting a year away! Join us at the RPUG online forum "Blogs for the 2009 Meeting" (updated) for sharing ideas, lessons-learned, and other precious information.
