Hawkeye Systems
The Hawkeye range of road survey equipment is a result of ARRBs extensive research into pavement and asset management.

ARRB Group has been manufacturing innovative road, traffic and transport solutions for over 25 years. During this time we have gained a world-wide reputation for the delivery of quality products designed specifically for many different road related applications. ARRBs main areas of product development are: Profiling systems for pavement monitoring purposes Digital imaging systems for both road and asset management applications Road geometry and mapping systems Network Survey Vehicles Weigh-in-Motion systems Accelerated pavement testing systems Software and data analysis tools

Hawkeye continues this tradition. Our advanced research and development program ensures we give our clients the best products, utilising the latest research and technologies. Collecting accurate, time stamped data is assured in Hawkeye through the use of our innovative development, Heartbeat. The Heartbeat module ensures that all data is accurately linked to a primary key. The Heartbeat module also allows for the integration of current and future data acquisition modules, making upgrading your system a simple exercise. All systems are manufactured in compliance with ISO 9001:2008 quality systems and are backed by ARRBs experienced customer support team and 50 years of road and transport research.

Hawkeye 1000 Digital Laser Profiler

The Hawkeye 1000 Digital Laser Profiler (DLP) is an affordable, portable system that measures longitudinal profile, macrotexture (MPD and SMTD) and roughness (IRI).
A World Bank Class 1 profiler, the Hawkeye 1000 DLP measures road profile in one or two wheel-paths using accelerometers and up to two precision laser sensors to compensate for vehicle body movement. The DLP is completely portable using a detachable sensor beam and comes complete with a tow-bar mounting kit, making it perfect for less frequent survey demands. An accurate Distance Measuring Instrument (DMI) and the Heartbeat module are used to precisely link the data to distance/chainage. Used in conjunction with the Hawkeye Processing Toolkit, you have the ability to produce tables, graphs, reports and exports from your collected data.

Applications
Pavement condition assessment Accurate quality assessments Quality control Contract validation
Low Medium High

Available outputs
Roughness (IRI, NAASRA) Longitudinal profile Macrotexture (MPD and SMTD) Distance

Hawkeye 1000 Digital Imaging System

The Hawkeye 1000 Digital Imaging System (DIS) is a portable imaging unit for visually capturing and locating road and roadside features.

The single, full high definition (HD), colour camera can be mounted on a windscreen or vehicle dashboard. The DIS is completely portable, using a suction mounted camera and transportable carry case, allowing for the system to be easily transferred between vehicles without the need for special tools or personnel. An accurate Distance Measuring Instrument (DMI) and the Heartbeat module are used to precisely link the data to distance/chainage. Used in conjunction with the Hawkeye Processing Toolkit software, the acquired images can be reviewed quickly and efficiently with the ability to locate assets, assess their condition and export the individual images to asset management systems.

Applications
Visual identification of roadside features and assets Right of way assessment Asset location for GIS applications Road safety assessment

Available outputs
Digital imagery GPS location / distance Shapefiles

Hawkeye 1000 DUO

ARRB Group has developed the first completely portable road and asset data collection system, consisting of a precision laser profiler, combined with a full high definition (HD) colour camera.
The Hawkeye 1000 DUO is perfect for project level data collection demands, as well as larger scale network surveys. The system, equipped with ARRBs newly developed lasers, is capable of collecting longitudinal profile, roughness and macrotexture (MPD and SMTD), whilst providing fully linked video images. This is achieved using ARRBs unique Heartbeat module to precisely link the data to distance/chainage and GPS position. Used in conjunction with the Hawkeye Processing Toolkit software, operators can produce a wide range of reports to review network condition and performance. This information can then be simply exported to CSV, or applications such as HDM-4 and GIS tools.

Applications
Pavement condition assessment Identification of roadside features and assets Infrastructure condition assessments Road safety assessment Pavement construction quality control

Available outputs
Roughness (IRI, Ride Number, NAASRA) Longitudinal profile Macrotexture (MPD and SMTD) Digital imagery GPS location / distance Shapefiles
