Pavement Research

Transtec receives more accolades for our pavements research results than any other pavements research firm. Our clients tell us that we are unique in our ability to explain complex concepts in simple ways—without compromising anything.

Pavement Surface Characteristics Research

Transtec has performed pavement surface characteristics (PSC) measurements for research study at thousands of pavement locations around the globe. We have more PSC data for noise, texture, and smoothness, than any other company, and we have developed a wide array of research results.

We have conducted over $5 million of research on noise, texture, smoothness for state agencies, the Federal Highway Administration, and many international agencies in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
