BS ISO 8608:2016

What is ISO 8608 - Reporting measured vertical road profile data about?

ISO 8608 discusses reporting measured vertical road profile data. ISO 8608 specifies a uniform method of reporting measured vertical road profile data for either one-track or multiple-track measurements. ISO 8608 applies to the reporting of measured vertical profile data taken on roads, streets and highways, and on off-road terrain. Note: ISO 8608 does not apply to rail-track data. Measurement and processing equipment and methods are not included.

Who is ISO 8608 - Reporting measured vertical road profile data for ?

ISO 8608 on mechanical vibration road surface profiles reporting of measured data is useful for:

Industrial machine manufacturers Mechanical engineers Health and safety departments Industrial machine operators

Why should you use ISO 8608 - Reporting measured vertical road profile data ?

The purpose of ISO 8608 is to facilitate the compilation and comparison of measured vertical road profile data from various sources. ISO 8608, therefore, specifies a uniform method of reporting data from one track and multiple-track measurements. ISO 8608 provides general guidance for the use of road profile statistical data for simulation studies and for related studies such as evaluation of comfort, suspensions, and road profiles. ISO 8608 is used for simulation purposes to solve various tasks in vibration analysis of mechanical and civil structures and road-vehicle-driver i...
