Inertial survey profile system
The Aptella Survey-Profile system is both a DOT/NATA certified inertial profiler and high resolution mobile surveying system. The Survey-Profile system can simultaneously measure IRI (longitudinal profile), transverse profile and 2D/3D surface scans for land surveying and machine control applications. The survey side of the system has been end-user validated as more accurate than any commercial scanning system.

Optimised for smoothness
The resulting outputs feature open area or roadbed topographies with accurate cross-slopes and elevations approaching total stations accuracy (with control point merger). Use the data for road design (optimised for smoothness) and variable depth machine control.
2D and 3D scanning
This device does full 3D scanning and can be simultaneously (or separately) used for IRI testing and full lane transverse profiles (for rutting, lane edge change and more under AASHTO PP69-10 & 70-10). The surface survey data can be adjusted with a merge in of control points for very accurate 3D elevation content.
IRI with cross slope and cut fill
The system can also be used for 2D scanning for pavement rehabilitation work that does not involve paving to grade. Aptella’s software includes a Profile Design module for configuring slope and cut/fill parameters for a design output optimised for best IRI results. The data can be exported to machine control systems, including Synergy’s PaveSmart grade control system.
