This paper presents experimental studies from the road profile measurements by employing accelerometers and international roughness index - IRI assessment tools and practical guidelines with respect to measured acceleration data processing in terms of digital filter design and conversion of vertical acceleration data into displacement data. In addition, it shows comparative analysis of measurements with accelerometers and Rod & Level (Leica TS 06 Plus), and gives some recommendations how to process measured data.
