Pavement unevenness has a random character and has an adverse influence to rolling resistance, tyre\u2013pavement coherence, safety and the driving comfort. Knowledge of \u201clongitudinal unevenness\u201d has been long recognized as an important criteria of road performance, not only for safety by causing vehicle vibrations and affecting ride comfort but also as a major factor in pavement deterioration and working conditions of vehicles. The paper presents two original devices for the measurement of pavement longitudinal unevenness designed as a reaction to results and experiences gathered from a few years\u2019 research activities, measurements and evaluations of road pavement evenness carried out in the authors' work place (University of \u017dilina \u2013 UNIZA). The first equipment has been designed as a single-wheel trailing vehicle and has been constructed on the Double-mass Measuring Set (DMS) principle and it is referred to as UNIZA single-wheel vehicle JP VSDS. The main reason for designing the device were authors\u2019 findings that the reference quarter car model (used for calculation of International Roughness Index \u2013 IRI) can provide evaluation, which can be in contradiction with ride safety. This fact is determined by overvaluation of the short wavelengths and undervaluation the longer wavelengths by reference model. The second one is a profiler with very high resolution of surface scanning using mathematical models for unevenness evaluation. The device is referred to as Dynamic Road Scanner (DRS). The reason for designing of this equipment was in the first place insufficient repeatability of transversal unevenness measurements of device used by Slovak Road Administration, but for the purpose of correctness and measurements accuracy verifying were also results of longitudinal unevenness measurements compared. The paper presents results of evaluation by international established dynamic quantifiers of longitudinal unevenness based on measurements performed by these devices on three selected road sections in Slovakia. In the next part of the paper are compared IRI values obtained by mathematical calculations using reference quarter car model \u201cdriving\u201d on road section profile measured by geodetic survey with IRI values obtained by conversion of the unevenness degree C (measured by UNIZA single-wheel vehicle JP VSDS) and IRI values measured by profilometer DRS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3846\/transport.2019.8577","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,28]],"date-time":"2019-02-28T08:10:33Z","timestamp":1551341433000},"page":"193-203","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3846\/transport_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["ROAD PAVEMENT LONGITUDINAL EVENNESS QUANTIFICATION AS STATIONARY STOCHASTIC PROCESS"],"prefix":"10.3846","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Bohu\u0161","family":"Leitner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Security Engineering, University of \u017dilina, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Deck\u00fd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of \u017dilina, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mat\u00fa\u0161","family":"Kov\u00e1\u010d","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of \u017dilina, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2209","reference":[{"key":"key-10.3846\/transport.2019.8577-1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1061\/(ASCE)TE.1943-5436.0000143"},{"issue":"2","key":"key-10.3846\/transport.2019.8577-2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"44","DOI":"10.26552\/com.C.2008.2.44-49","article-title":"Pavement diagnosis as integrant of the pavement management system","author":"Celko, J.","year":"2008","journal-title":"Communications: Scientific Letters of the University of \u017dilina"},{"issue":"1","key":"key-10.3846\/transport.2019.8577-3","first-page":"15","article-title":"An analysis of vehicle\u2013road surface interaction for classification of IRI in the frame of Slovak PMS","author":"Celko, J.","year":"2009","journal-title":"Eksploatacja i Niezawodno\u015b\u0107 \u2013 Maintenance and Reliability"},{"key":"key-10.3846\/transport.2019.8577-4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1117\/12.818128"},{"issue":"2","key":"key-10.3846\/transport.2019.8577-5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"22","DOI":"10.26552\/com.C.1999.2.22-32","article-title":"Comparison of dynamic methods of road pavement evenness evaluation","author":"Deck\u00fd, M.","year":"1999","journal-title":"Komunika\u0301cie: vedecke\u0301 listy \u017dilinskej univerzity \u2013 Communications: Scientific Letters of the University of \u017dilina"},{"key":"key-10.3846\/transport.2019.8577-6","volume-title":"Hodnotenie pozd\u013a\u017enych nerovnost\u00ed cestn\u00fdch vozoviek meracou s\u00fastavou V\u0160DS","author":"Deck\u00fd, M.","year":"1996"},{"key":"key-10.3846\/transport.2019.8577-7","volume-title":"Pozd\u013a\u017ena rovnos\u0165 vozoviek pozemn\u00fdch komunika\u0301ci\u00ed","author":"Deck\u00fd, M.","year":"2014"},{"key":"key-10.3846\/transport.2019.8577-8","first-page":"49","article-title":"Klasifik\u00e1cia rovnosti vozoviek zoh\u013ead\u0148uj\u00faca dynamiku re\u00e1lneho automobilu","volume":"2","author":"Deck\u00fd, M.","year":"2004","journal-title":"1. \u010das\u0165, Silni\u010dn\u00ed obzor"},{"key":"key-10.3846\/transport.2019.8577-9","first-page":"80","article-title":"Klasifik\u00e1cia rovnosti vozoviek zoh\u013ead\u0148uj\u00faca dynamiku re\u00e1lneho automobile","volume":"3","author":"Deck\u00fd, M.","year":"2004","journal-title":"2. \u010das\u0165, Silni\u010dn\u00ed obzor"},{"key":"key-10.3846\/transport.2019.8577-10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3141\/1764-26"},{"key":"key-10.3846\/transport.2019.8577-11","unstructured":"EN 13036-5:2014.
