Proscan
Manual Profilograph Trace Scanning System
|
OVERVIEW
|
|
The ProScan is an automated profilogram
scanning and software system. It is a widely accepted system as an alternative method of
automatically reducing manual Profilograph traces to determine profile indices and defect stations on paving projects.
There are numerous systems already in place in many state
DOT's and construction companies, and many states have
certified this system for use on highway construction
products. How it works:
- The computer controlled
paper transport unit automatically advances the
profilogram trace to the scanner.
- The ProScan system scans
the trace, divides it into 1/10-mile (or any length)
segments, and saves it on the computer hard drive.
System can combine scans of left and right wheel path
data on a single report (displays two traces, PRIs per
wheel path and average).
- The results are printed
out on the accepted PRI form for each state using
English or metric units.

The ProScan system includes:
- Logitech ScanMan Model
32 hand scanner to capture data
- Software to track
proflogram trace - ignores stray marks, smooths jagged
signals, and fills small gaps in trace
- Enhanced program that
calculates PRI values, records a collection of segments
on disk, and generates a standard DOT smoothness report.
- Computer controlled
paper transport unit to automate and speed the scanning
process
- Optional Panasonic
Toughbook rugged computer with touchscreen controls
Advantages of the
ProScan over manual operation:
- Faster (15 mph
vs 1-1.5 mph)
- Easier (less
skill required)
- Accurate
(provably correct results)
- Digitize data
capture disk record
- Instant
reanalysis (using different specifications)
- Automatic report
generation
- Data Integrity
(encrypted data file)
|
Advantages of the ProScan over other systems:
- Lower cost
- Existing
profilograph equipment used
- Original paper
profilogram exists (before being massaged by a
program)
- More complete
reports generated
- Data may be
reanalyzed in seconds
- Computer not
subjected to weather extremes
- Never runs out
of gas!
