Abstract
The article presents a practical application of lasers, for reconstruction of the road longitudinal profiles in dynamic regime. The method uses two laser sources and a video line scan camera placed at equal distance between the lasers for the contactless measurement of their height above the pavement surface. The main advantage of the proposed method is the fact that the sampling distance is equal with the distance between the two lasers, which eliminates the possible errors introduced by pitch oscillations, thus improving the calculus of the pavement quality indices..
