description This study proposes and establishes a roadway longitudinal profile weighting model and innovatively develops a process and method for evaluating road surface roughness. Initially, the Gaussian model is employed to accurately fit the distribution frequency of vehicle centerlines recorded in British Standard BS 5400-10, and a generalized lateral distribution model of wheel trajectories is further derived. Corresponding model parameters are suggested for different types of lanes in this study. Subsequently, based on the proposed distribution model, a longitudinal profile weighting model for lanes is constructed. After adjusting the elevation of the cross-section, the equivalent longitudinal elevation of the roadway is calculated. Furthermore, this study presents a new indicator and method for assessing the roughness of the entire road surface, which comprehensively considers the elevations of all longitudinal profiles within the lane. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed new method and indicator, a comparative test was conducted using a vehicle-mounted profiler and a three-dimensional measurement system. The experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in measurement repeatability and scientific rigor, offering a new perspective and evaluation strategy for road performance assessment.
