Abstract

Pavement evaluation is critical for the decision-making process of pavement preservation and rehabilitation. Roughness is a key airport pavement characteristic that has been linked to impacts such as safety and service life. The Boeing Bump is one of the few roughness evaluation methods that has been developed specifically for runways. Although it is superior to the widely used International Roughness Index (IRI), it does not take into account the superposition effect of continuous runway bumps. Based on the ADAMS/Aircraft virtual prototype platform, this paper establishes and verifies five typical models (B737, B747, B757, B777, and B787) and then analyzes the most unfavorable speed (in terms of aircraft vibration) of each model and the dynamic responses caused by multiple bumps. The original Boeing Bump is improved and optimized by determining dynamic response thresholds for the various aircraft types. The results show that the revised Boeing Bump is more realistic than the original version, especially with regard to medium and long wave bands. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
