ISO 13473-2:2002定义了与道路、机场跑道和滑行道路面结构分析相关的术语、表达式和参数。特别是，它定义了与纹理轮廓表示相关的术语和表达式，这些术语和表达式预计将在路面特性建模中有用，如轮胎/道路噪声排放、轮胎/道路摩擦、轮胎滚动阻力和轮胎磨损。此外，还简要介绍了路面特性及其影响的一般信息。 ISO 13473-2:2002还包含与术语、表达式和参数的使用有关的一些基本要求。 由于其他国际标准，例如ISO 3274、ISO 4287、ISO 4288、ISO 5436-1和ISO 12085中涉及到这一主题，因此不包括机加工表面的轮廓分析。ISO 8608中涉及的道路不平度纵断面分析也被排除在外。

ISO 13473-2:2002 defines terms, expressions and parameters that are related to the analysis of pavement texture, on roads as well as on airport runways and taxiways. In particular, it defines terms and expressions related to profile representations of texture, which are anticipated to be useful in modelling of pavement characteristics such as tyre/road noise emission, tyre/road friction, tyre rolling resistance and tyre wear. In addition, some brief general information on pavement surface characteristics and their effects is presented. ISO 13473-2:2002 also contains some basic requirements in connection with the use of the terms, expressions and parameters. Profile analysis of machined surfaces is not included, since this subject is dealt with in other International Standards, for example ISO 3274, ISO 4287, ISO 4288, ISO 5436-1 and ISO 12085. Profile analysis of road unevenness, which is dealt with in ISO 8608, is also excluded.
