A road profiling system that accurately measures surface texture, ride quality, and irregularities.
Road Science operate a fleet of high-speed Hawkeye survey vehicles that are equipped with laser profiler technology to enable continuous, highly accurate recording of road and pavement data — including roughness, texture, and geometry, that links back to GPS and distance-based measurements.
Using GipsiTrac, an advanced inertial navigation system, we capture detailed road geometry such as horizontal and vertical curvature, grade, crossfall, and superelevation with precision. Our expert technicians who operate these state-of-the-art Hawkeye 1000s, conduct nationwide surveys at normal traffic speeds — eliminating the need for traffic management and keeping crews out of live lanes. This approach saves time, reduces costs, and enhances safety.
Hawkeye surveys are the modern solution for safe, efficient, and comprehensive road corridor data collection.
