159 ARRB Group has introduced the latest addition to the Hawkeye 1000 series, the Hawkeye 1000 DUO.

The Hawkeye 1000 portable range was previously limited to a standalone laser profiler and a separate video imaging system. With recent advancements in computer hardware and an intense in-house development programme, ARRB Systems is now releasing the Hawkeye 1000 DUO which successfully combines the benefits of the two systems.

Consisting of a single or dual laser profiler and a single dashboard-mounted video camera, the Hawkeye 1000 DUO is capable of collecting longitudinal profile, roughness and macro-texture and providing fully linked video images, at highway speeds.

It can be used in rural and urban locations, and can offer positioning and measurement of road and asset inventory; verify site conditions (by visual methods in post-processing) when large variations in data are detected by the profiler; quality assessments and road safety engineering assessments.
