Pavement Distress
MnDOT staff provides data collection of many different types of pavement structural performance. These include LTPP-style distress surveys, asphalt rutting measurements with an Automated Laser Profile System, concrete curling and warping measurements with a 2nd- generation ALPS, and faulting and lane-shoulder drop off measurements using an automated faultmeter.
