Road profilometery

Road profilometry is like taking a picture of the road surface. Just like a camera, a special tool called a profilometer scans the road and creates a detailed report of how bumpy or uneven the surface is.

Think about a roller coaster - when you ride on it, you can feel all the ups and downs. But what if you could take a picture of the track and see exactly where all the bumps are? That's what a profilometer does for the road.

Why do we need to know how bumpy the road is? Well, it helps us figure out if the road needs to be fixed or if it's safe for cars to drive on. If there are too many bumps or uneven spots, it can be dangerous for drivers and cause wear and tear on their cars.

In summary, road profilometry is like taking a picture of the road to see how bumpy it is so we can keep drivers safe and make sure the road is in good shape.
