Walking Profiler

Collect highly accurate road profiles for ride quality and roughness reporting.

Specifications & Features

The CS8800 has evolved from over fifteen years of hardware, electronics and software engineering. The result is a full featured, refined device that performs at the highest level in its class.

Hardware Features

• Proven 99% repeatable data on multiple same surface test runs.
• ASTM 2133 compliant device.
• Sampling Interval: 1”/25.4 mm default (equivalent to ASTM E950 Class I equivalent profiling device). Adjustable (.25”-6”; 6.35 -150 mm).
• Guaranteed compliance with agency specifications and test methods.
• Modular, portable design: all core electronic and sensor components smaller than Toughbook operator interface computer.
• Core components field installable and can ship express.
• Current model Panasonic Toughbook 19 military specification notebook computer with daylight readable Touchscreen controls.
• Professionally engineered, self-balancing frame.
• Assembles in minutes (by attaching handle and computer).
• Entire system fits in reusable container for storage and shipping.
• Multiple sensor inputs (encoders/inclinometers) processed with SSI proprietary collection electronics and filtering methods for best profile.
• Bi-directional collection and reporting of multiple profile traces on a single report (patented technique for transverse surface evaluation).
• Extended capacity battery for full day (>10 hours) of testing.
• On-site customer training and support worldwide.
• GPS subsystem with embedded receiver accuracy options available in three configurations: (1) Low (2-3 meter); (2) Medium (0.7 meter); or (3) High (2-5 cm, with subscription or RTK).
• Survey option (merges CS8800 with corrected GPS or total stations).
• Texture measurement option with lateral scanning laser.

Software Features

• Reports IRI, MRI, HRI, PRI, RN, and Localized Roughness (with adjustable bump and dip templates). • Floor Flatness/Levelness.
• Instant test results and viewing of profile traces and reports.
• Outputs longitudinal profile, elevation data, slope, simulated profilograph, raw strip trace, ERD/PPF (for ProVal), and PRO formats.
• Multiple trace reporting allows cross-surface analysis of parallel profile traces (patented by SSI).
• Append data to existing files for comparison of original surface condition with corrected surface.
• On-Screen user’s manual and instructions for software operation.
• Profile reports and traces available on-screen, in PDF images, Excel (templates supplied), hard copy print out, or electronic formats.
• Colorized traces and highlights of bonus/penalty profile areas.
• Encrypted raw data for infinite reanalysis with variable parameters
• Software updates by self-executing internet download.
• Real time diagnostics monitor system health and ease support.
• Data infinitely rewritable with variable analysis parameters (English or Metric units, profile indexes, data filters, localized roughness).
• Desktop license supplied for viewing, analyzing, printing and emailing of CS8800 data using SSI Profiler software.
• On-site customer training and support worldwide.
• GPS subsystem supports real-time position display, correlation of GPS with project stationing/chainage, GPS Tracker for trace navigation, Google Earth and GIS exports.
• Survey option (merges CS8800 with corrected GPS or total stations).
• Texture measurement option with lateral scanning laser.
