Kiwa KOAC

Kiwa KOAC is specialized in all kinds of road measuring activities, for example skid resistance and (un)evenness of road pavements. Since 2015, our colleagues already operate Europe's largest skid resistance device, which not only measures skid resistance, but road texture and longitudinal unevenness as well. This vehicle has now been expanded with even more bells and whistles: a 3D laser scan device that measures transversal unevenness, rutting and cracks in the pavement. Eelke Vromans, unit manager Road Testing at Kiwa, "By combining these systems into one truck, we can now collect all functional properties of any road track in only one go, instead of 3 to 4 runs with different vehicles. This means not only a far higher efficiency level, but also less CO2 emissions and less traffic disturbance."
