In traditional highway management practices, information about road conditions is obtained by measuring trafficoperational
indicators. Measuring each of these indicators requires considerable time, and integrating all measurement
results into a unified assessment may create additional challenges. In evaluating the traffic and operational condition
of highways, the IRI (International Roughness Index) is widely recognized as an effective and internationally accepted
indicator.
Various software solutions are used worldwide to measure road surface smoothness. Among them, the GLOCAL-EYEZ
program, developed by Japanese specialists, has significant potential for practical application. This article examines
the effectiveness and reliability of technical devices and technologies used to measure road surface smoothness. The
data obtained using the GLOCAL-EYEZ program are also compared with the results of other measurement programs to
evaluate their accuracy and efficiency.
