Introduction
The purpose of 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, and pavement smoothness.
This set of pages is designed to be used as an information resource for
the RPUG community. If you have any suggestions or additions, please
