CA 2233689

A system and apparatus for detecting and evaluating surface conditions on a road surface from a moving vehicle. The system comprises a platform (12) which is mounted on a vehicle (10). The platform (12) is constructed to carry or have imbedded therein various sensors (18, 20, 22, and/or 24). These sensors (18, 20, 22, and/or 24) have access to the material to be sensed. These sensors (18, 20, 22, and/or 24) are connected, via a cable (30), to a display (28) which is capable of controlling, communicating with, and powering the sensors (18, 20, 22, and/or 24) as well as interpreting sensor data, and preferably includes display/input devices which can display information, accept outside input, store commands, and retrieve data.

L'invention porte sur un système et un appareil de détection et d'évaluation de l'état d'un revêtement routier à partir d'un véhicule en déplacement. Le système comprend une plate-forme (12) montée sur un véhicule (10). La plate-forme (12) est conçue pour porter ou inclure différents capteurs (18, 20, 22, et/ou 24). Ces capteurs (18, 20, 22, et/ou 24) ont accès au matériau à détecter, et sont connectés, par l'intermédiaire d'un câble (30), à une unité d'affichage (28) qui est capable de commander les capteurs (18, 20, 22, et/ou 24), d'être en communication avec eux, de les alimenter, et d'interpréter les données qui en proviennent. Ladite unité d'affichage (28) comprend de préférence des dispositifs d'affichage/d'entrée qui peuvent afficher des données, accepter des entrées venues de l'extérieur, stocker des instructions, et récupérer des données.
