OVERVIEW

SSI's Bridge Profilograph takes the standard profilograph and adds revolutionary electronics to allow bi-directional testing and multiple wheel path reporting.  This profilograph complies with the Cal Trans Test Method 547 and other specialty specifications.  With MS-Windows software, training and operator cost are greatly reduced.  In addition, data analysis is made much easier, and less time-intensive.  Some key features of the SSI Bridge Profiler are outlined below.
