Abstract—This research paper deals with an adaptation of the virtual instrumentation for measurement of the micro-asperities of a flat surface of an asphalt carpet (road surface), after a certain period of time and the comparison with the values measured during the acceptance of this one.
The use of virtual instrumentation proves its efficiency at the present moment, when the end-users’ requirements are increasingly higher and the management of the information about the asphalt carpet condition is a relevant element for making the decisions regarding the measures to be taken for maintaining it in normal state for safe car traffic. This research used an instrument that measures the temperature of the maximum and minim points of a flat surface (roughness) and compares them (by overlapping) with the initial values measured during acceptance.
Index Terms—Asphalt, micro-asperities, surface, virtual instrumentation.
