The publication or distribution of this report or the information contained herein must not be disclosed without the written approval of the author. 1964: Elson Spangler and Bill Kelly of General Motors invent the first internal profiler.

The publication or distribution of this report or the information contained herein must not be disclosed without the written approval of the author. Soon After: State DOT’s begin using profilers based on the Spangler/Elson design. Michigan DOT and Texas DOT are among first to utilize the design. FHWA begins pushing more usage.

The publication or distribution of this report or the information contained herein must not be disclosed without the written approval of the author. Eventually: Dave Huft builds the “South Dakota Profiler” South Dakota hosts the first RPUG meeting in and the world is never the same again

The publication or distribution of this report or the information contained herein must not be disclosed without the written approval of the author. International Roughness Index (IRI) Definition: A statistic used to estimate the amount of roughness in a measured longitudinal profile

The publication or distribution of this report or the information contained herein must not be disclosed without the written approval of the author. Now: FHWA produces the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) Hyundai-Kia America Technical Center, Inc. (HATCI) has contracted with the UMTRI to determine the “average road surface” in the United States using the HPMS.

Knowing more about road surfaces can dramatically assist vehicle designers NVH (Noise, Vibration, Handling) Knowing the frequency of operation on road “types” can influence design New technologies will depend on road design and infrastructure The auto and road industries are converging

The publication or distribution of this report or the information contained herein must not be disclosed without the written approval of the author. Road surfaces affect many auto issues Ride, handling, and vehicle safety effects are well known  Rain and snow performance  Vibration  Braking  General noise effects But other effects are critical as well

The publication or distribution of this report or the information contained herein must not be disclosed without the written approval of the author. Road surface has a dramatic effect on fuel economy.  Surface composition, structure, wear, expansion joints, tining, etc. Voice recognition is a major new technological development  Roadway noise interferes with voice recognition  Audio operations are degraded

The publication or distribution of this report or the information contained herein must not be disclosed without the written approval of the author. Lane departure warning relies on roadway marking and/or embedded infrastructure Vehicle to Vehicle communication (V2V)  Will allow vehicle monitoring for intersection crash avoidance and traffic control, but needs infrastructure On-road charging for electric vehicles  Will require embedded infrastructure

The publication or distribution of this report or the information contained herein must not be disclosed without the written approval of the author. ENHANCING CONVERGENCE The more we work together now, the quicker that new technologies can be introduced to improve the driving experience, vehicle safety, and the efficiency of the transportation system as a whole
