Abstract

This paper presents a method of dynamic vibration measurement using a microcontroller model Arduino UNO R3, Version 1.5.8. In the measurement, the data were obtained by vibration frequency measurement from the road surface, from which the data were analyzed by the additional tools, which can also be used for vibration measurement with the frequency range from 10–1,000 Hz. Such a proposed system can also be used to measure the force being exerted on the road surface (F), while the vehicle is in motion with the measurement range from 1.80x104–7.0x106 Newton. Moreover, the useful application such as the friction coefficients that affects the road surface material compositions, the rate of deterioration of the road surface and the design of the road surface on traffic conditions in the future can also be investigated.
