This paper studies the mechanical and Data Acquisition performance of a Robotic Transverse Profiler (RTP), designed and built in the partnership between with ARRB and Laboratory of Motion Generation and Analysis for pavement technology study. A method is discovered to validate the mechanical performance of assembly of aluminium extrusion with complex cross section which is used extensively in the construction of RTP. With the use of advanced sensors technology in conjunction of control algorithm, RTP is able to take profiles of pavement over specific location with high repeatability.
