Moving forward on Surface Texture Issues

TCPSC's RoboTex is a star in a recent Better Roads article! Built around a Selcom Roline laser and mounted on a 6-wheeled robot, RoboTex is a center piece of the pooled fund research to provide the missing links to relate pavement surface textures to tire-pavement noise. Read more...

Evaluating Methods for Controlling Tire-Pavement Noise

TCPSC and The Center for Transportation Research and Education at Iowa State
University has released a report that explores conventional and innovative
concrete pavement noise reduction methods. Read more...

The Transtec CPSC works with owners, builders, and designers of pavement facilities. We provide services and information to address the complex issues of pavement ride quality, surface texture and noise. We bring together the best experts from around the world.

If you’re a stakeholder in the pavements industry, you’re facing stronger public demands for better pavement surfaces than ever before. Today, solutions are available to address these growing demands for pavement facilities that are quiet, safe, and comfortable for the driving public. Better pavement surfaces bring lower ownership costs, better pavement performance, and increased public satisfaction.

Improving your pavement surfaces is possible. First, you must measure and assess your current pavement surface characteristics. Next, you need to improve your existing pavements, developing design and construction strategies for future pavements. Finally, you need to train your people to understand and implement the tools they must use to design and build better pavements.

Our experts have delivered pavement surface solutions for over 40 years. Experts in pavement surfaces must understand more than pavements. In pavement smoothness, for example, good ride quality comes from an understanding of both pavements and vehicle dynamics. In pavement noise, experts must understand both pavements and acoustics.

Our staff is uniquely qualified to bring practical solutions in pavement surfaces. Please browse our web site for more information on ways we can improve your pavement facilities. You can also call us for more information, or just to ask a question.
