When preparing a pavement or rehabilitation design report you may want to analyse a population of data, such as the rut depth distribution, on a section of road. Whilst strip maps and scatter plots are helpful, a histogram together with descriptive statistics is a better option for concisely summarizing the distribution of data.

Histogram plots and statistics can be prepared in Excel, however the calculations and graph formatting all take time.


Getting Started

The Histogram Tool is accessed through the Reporting Tools icon on the Rubicon Toolbox Online Tools.


Click on the Reporting Tools icon and select Histogram Plot from the list. A Histogram Plot Report page will open.

To start, download the Example Template, enter the relevant data and save the template.


Note, when entering your data in the Excel template, ensure you set up a data range and a bin range, so that there are no erroneous empty cells (the ranges will be read until an empty cell is encountered). Take note of the upper-left cell (anchor cell) of each range (highlighted below).



Running the Analysis

Once you have completed the template, proceed with the following steps to complete the analysis.




The report can be copied to the clipboard by right clicking on the report and selecting Copy image or Save image as. The image can then be inserted into a document of your choice (Word, Excel etc.).

Since the template is saved on your PC, the analysis is not saved online. The analysis can be repeated, as and when required.
