The PASER scale is a 1-10 rating system for road pavement condition developed by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Transportation Information Center. PASER uses visual inspection to evaluate pavement surface conditions. When assessed correctly, PASER ratings provide a basis for comparing the quality of roadway segments. [1]
In modern roads the main cause is heavily loaded trucks. These heavy loaded trucks imprint their tire impressions on roads over time, causing ruts. Rut is a common pavement distress and is often used in pavement performance modeling. [1] Ruts prevent rainwater from flowing to the side of the road into ditches or gutters.
Generally concrete pavements are more durable in warmer climates, and asphalt pavements are more resilient against cold weather. The joints in concrete pavement is another source of issue. In a certain type of road (concrete, asphalt or gravel), the thickness of layers and type of materials used in base, sub-base and pavement layer matters.

The term pavement comes from Latin pavimentum, meaning a floor beaten or rammed down, through Old French pavement. [5] The meaning of a beaten-down floor was obsolete before the word entered English. [6] Pavement, in the form of beaten gravel, dates back before the emergence of anatomically modern humans.
The latter is much larger than any of the static/slow speed Class 1 profilers or a typical laser profilometer. This can be addressed with a 4-inch or 6-inch line laser mounted in the wheelpaths to mimic the tire patch width. Or a high definition scanning laser can be used which create a 3D model of the pavement surface.
Karl-Anthony Towns took some time to reflect on nine formative NBA seasons in Minnesota, arriving to the arena early for the morning shootaround before the rest of the New York Knicks. “All ...
Off-road tires (Off-road tyre) are a category of vehicle tires that use deep tread to provide more traction on unpaved surfaces such as loose dirt, mud, sand, or gravel. [1] Compared to ice or snow tires, they lack studs but contain deeper and wider grooves meant to help the tread sink into mud or gravel surfaces.
