Pavement roughness is one of the most important factors for appraising highway construction.In this paper,we choose the laser triangulation to measure pavement roughness.The principle and configuration of laser triangulation are introduced.Based on this technology,the pavement roughness of a road surface is measured.The measurement results are given in this paper.The measurement range of this system is 50 μm.The measurement error of this technology is analyzed.This technology has an important significance to appraise the quality of highway after completion of the workload.
