DaRTS User Group
Deflection at Road Traffic Speed
DaRTS is a global group of applicants, researchers, developers and manufacters of the emerging technology of deflection measurements at road traffic speed.
DaRTS covers all technologies for measuring structural pavement response at traffic speed. These are known as Traffic Speed Deflectomter Devices TSDD's.
In most cases structural assessement and data usage become only meaningfull by combining with other relevant data sets. DaRTS therefore covers related technologies and methods, like GPR and PMS as well.
Exchange, discussion and setting the seed for collaboration and research actions have been the core mission of DaRTS since its founding in 2013. Participation, the use of DaRTS's network and outcome are based on respect and trust.
DaRTS, its content and participation is free of charge!
Usually DaRTS meetings are held twice a year. Whenever possible the meetings are combined with related conferences, meetings and events. All meetings will be held in a hybrid format to allow global participation.
Special DaRTS events like webinars can be organized on request.
