RugoBox® is a simple, modular, and affordable device designed to measure the macrotexture of road surfaces. It perfectly suits the needs of MDP (Pavement Macrotexture Measurement) and ETD (Road Texture Evaluation) projects. Additionally, it is easy to install on any vehicle equipped with a towing device, allowing for both mono-trace and bi-trace measurements, depending on the specific requirements of each project.

RugoBox® Compliant with ISO Standards

This device strictly adheres to the ISO 13473-1 standard, ensuring reliable and accurate measurements. As a result, RugoBox® automatically calculates PMP and PTE during data acquisition, thanks to its compliance with the standards. These measurements help assess surface adhesion and ensure the safety of drivers and pedestrians.

Accessibility and Ease of Use

RugoBox® comes with RugoSoft software, which simplifies data acquisition and processing. The software allows for real-time result visualization, rapid editing of reception reports, and advanced analysis. The device has been designed with high-performance, cost-effective components to guarantee excellent value for money.

Modular and Comprehensive Options

RugoBox® offers modular options, such as a second measurement head, Wi-Fi connectivity, and the option of a computer or tablet for control. These options allow the device to be customized based on the specific needs of each user. It is also highly portable, including a control box, magnetic GPS, a webcam with a suction mount, and a storage case.

Conclusion

Complete, precise, and cost-effective, RugoBox® is the ideal solution for measuring the macrotexture of road surfaces. Its flexibility and modular options make it the optimal choice for assessing road quality.

The dynamic stress applied to the platform to be tested is similar in intensity and frequency to that caused by the passage of an axle loaded to 13 tonnes and travelling at 60 km/h. It is generated by the fall of a mass on a damping spring placed on a load plate.

The complex analysis of the impact allows the dynamic deformation modulus of the structure at the test point to be calculated directly.

The system is mounted in a fixed position on the chassis of a light 4×4 vehicle or utility vehicle and allows many measurement points per day to be effortlessly performed compared to the traditional plate test.

Ecodyn 3 allows to evaluate objectively and accurately the quality of longitudinal road markings (center lines, edge lines), according to the EN 1436 standard. It is capable of measuring (by day or night) the night visibility of road markings (retro-reflection RL). It thus provides the necessary information to program preventive renewal campaigns, to control the quality of the implementation of marking products and to follow their evolution over time.

ECODYN, the first device capable of measuring dynamically the retro-reflection of markings, has been widely distributed throughout the world. ECODYN was the successor of the ECOLUX, the first portable reflectometer capable of measuring the retro-reflection of markings in static.

In keeping with this heritage of technical excellence and innovation, the third generation ECODYN 3 is the first in the world to offer LED lighting technologies and to allow the simultaneous measurement of two marking lines (axis + edges).

The longitudinal force coefficient measured by the GripTester, called GN, is proportional to the ratio of HF to VF.

The measure is taken on a wet surface. The longitudinal force coefficient calculated by the GripTester is displayed in real time and stored on a laptop.

Use in towed mode (roads and motorways) for continuous skid resistance evaluation.

The measure is performed at a speed depending on the evenness of the carriageway.

For wetting, an internal tank is added to the towing vehicle to increase the measure of autonomy.

• SQL software
• FWD → SHWD modular design
• RoSy DESIGN front/back computing system for up to 18 geophones
• SHRP Certificate

The scalable principle means that there is no need to invest in a new device if the requirements of the current device change. Upgrading a standard 7-150 kN FWD (Falling Weight Deflectometer) to a 7-250 kN HWD (Heavy Weight Deflectometer) or even a 7-350 kN SHWD (Super Heavy Weight Deflectometer) device is a simple operation that can be done in a few days.

The development work can be carried out on the site of the customer. The customer can choose the number of geophones (from 10 to 18 or more if necessary).

The FWD trailer can be integrated into a van without having to invest in new measuring equipment.
