Abstract

Abstract

A comprehensive analysis method of the applicability of international roughness index (IRI) based airport pavement roughness evaluation was proposed, the quarter car model and the aircraft kinetic model were built, the IRI and the vertical acceleration of center of gravity of aircraft (VACGA) were respectively proposed as the evaluation index of airport pavement roughness, and the solving models of IRI and VACGA were built by using MATLAB/Simulink.The microwave fluctuation of airport pavement profile was simulated by using the sinusoidal rough excitation, the distribution characteristics of the IRI and the VACGA under different amplitudes, wavelengths and taxi speeds were detailedly analyzed.Calculation result shows that the IRI and the VACGA are proportional to the amplitude.The sensitive wave band of IRI is shorter, its wavelength is 1-5m, and the IRI reaches the maximum value at 2m wavelength.At the taxi speed of 200km·h^-1, the VACGA has three wave crests with the change of wavelength, and it reaches the maximum crest at the 15 m wavelength.When the taxi speed of aircraft is lessthan 40km·h^-1 in taxiway, the sensitive wave bands of VACGA is 2.3-7.2m, almost distributes in the sensitive wave band of the IRI, which means that IRI can be used to evaluate the taxiway roughness.However, when the taxi speed of aircraft is more than 60km·h^-1 in runway, the sensitive wave band of the VACGA is 6.4-23.6 m, not in the sensitive wave band of the IRI, which indicates that it is unreasonable to evaluate the airport pavement roughness using the IRI when the taxi speed of aircraft is higher in runway.
