Relationship between international roughness index (IRI) and present serviceability index (PSI)

A good road structure may help in reducing the number of accident. Wearing course is the top layer of road structure which is the layer that exposed to the vehicle tires and environment. The International Roughness Index (IRI) and Present Serviceability Index (PSI) are both index that can be used as...
