This paper considers the characteristics of the device ZScanner 700, its usage and ability to process data from measurements of the roadway’s geometric profile. It refers to the ability of ZScanner 700 to record surface deviations with sufficient accuracy and the possibility of processing obtained digitalized data in GOM inspect software for surface analysis and Global Mapper for watershed simulation. This analysis and simulation are directly related to the MPD measurement performed on roadways. The purpose of the MPD measurement is to detect macroscopic road surface defects to avoid water retention on the road and the origin of the hydroplaning effect.
