Abstract :
This paper describes a road surface measurement method using a bicycle wheel connected to the back of a car. Road surface deflections are detected by wheel vibrations. The latter are measured by accelerometers with data acquisition unit measuring the accelerometer response. Data is collected by a program running on Windows operating system
