Resumo

The operational safety conditions on runways (RWY) depend, among other factors, on the pavement's macrotexture. The sand patch test, widely used to determine macrotexture, has limitations such as its dependence on operator skill and execution time. The adoption of new technologies has the potential to optimize data collection, reducing costs and human error. Laser technologies have been studied for measuring surface characteristics, in this case, macrotexture. This study evaluates macrotexture measurement data from the sand patch test and a laser device. Data were collected at two RWY in Brazil. For the same points, the mean macrotexture depths were measured by the sand patch test and the laser device. The RWY was measured alternately at stakes 100 m and 3 m from the centerline. The RWY were classified based on macrotexture. Subsequently, the correlation, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation between the collection methods were analyzed. The data showed a strong correlation with the mean data for only one of the RWY (R² = 0.86). For both RWY, the coefficients of variation were higher in the data produced by the laser device. It is concluded that, although there is a correlation between the macrotexture measurement methods, further investigation is needed to understand the dispersion of the data.
