Besides surface roughness, there are two other vital aspects that govern the operating cost of a vehicle. These are horizontal curvature and vertical gradient, which combined with surface roughness, is called geometry of roads. Horizontal curvature is a factor that ascertains consumption of fuel and vertical gradient governs wear and tear of tyres and certain spare parts.
To find out and record vertical gradient of highways, we have come up with a vertical profile meter that is quicker and more accurate in all terms. Widely used in assessing and improving the vertical profile of roads, this machine is fitted in a car or suitable vehicle for a quantitative measurement.
Following are the specifics of this range: - Features
- On board measurement
- Fast and accurate measurement
- Cumulative count of plus and minus gradient
- Gradient count displayed on separate electronic counters
- Display of distance on separate electronic counter after 20 meter of length traveled
- Specifications
- Gradient measurement up to ±18%
- 12 Volt battery of vehicle of the vehicle
- Advantages
- Timely improvisation of vertical gradient of roads
- Less Fuel Consumption
- Lesser wear and tear of tyres and other spare parts
- Increase in the efficiency of the vehicle
- Saving of energy and foreign exchange
- Less operating cost to the vehicle operators
- Less traveling time and increase safety
