The quality and condition of a road surface is of great importance for convenience and safety of driving. So the investigations of the behaviour of road materials in laboratory conditions and monitoring of existing roads are widely fulfilled for controlling a geometric parameters and detecting defects in the road surface. Photogrammetry as accurate non-contact measuring method provides powerful means for solving different tasks in road surface reconstruction and analysis. The range of dimensions concerned in road surface analysis can have great variation from tenths of millimetre to hundreds meters and more. So a set of techniques is needed to meet all requirements of road parameters estimation. Two photogrammetric techniques for road surface analysis are presented: for accurate measuring of road pavement and for road surface reconstruction based on imagery obtained from unmanned aerial vehicle. The first technique uses photogrammetric system based on structured light for fast and accurate surface 3D reconstruction and it allows analysing the characteristics of road texture and monitoring the pavement behaviour. The second technique provides dense 3D model road suitable for road macro parameters estimation.

ABSTRACT: Optimization of road pavement design, especially close to the surface of the pavement, requires a more rational approach, which will inevitably include modeling of truck tire-road contact stresses. Various road-surfacing failures have been recorded as evidence that the traditional road pavement engineering tire model idealized by a single uniformly distributed vertical contact stress of circular shape may be inadequate to properly explain and assist in the design against road surface failures. This article therefore discusses the direct measurement of three-dimensional (3D) tire pavement contact stresses using a flatbed sensor system referred to as the “Stress-In-Motion” (SIM) system. The SIM system (or device) consists of multiple conically shaped steel pins, as well as an array of instrumented sensors based on strain gauge technology. The test surface is textured with skid resistance approaching that of a dry asphalt layer. Full-scale truck tires have been tested since the mid-1990s, and results show that 3D tire contact stresses are nonuniform and that the footprint is often not of circular shape. It was found that especially the vertical shape of contact stress distribution changes, mainly as a function of tire loading and associated tire inflation pressures. In overloaded/underinflated cases, vertical contact stresses are the highest toward the edges of the tire contact patch. Higher inflation pressures at lower loads, on the other hand, result in maximum vertical stresses toward the center portion of the tire contact patch. These differences in shape and magnitude need to be incorporated into modern mechanistic-empirical road pavement design tools. Four different idealized tire models were used to represent a single tire type to demonstrate effects of tire modeling on the road pavement response of a typical South African pavement structure incorporating a relatively thin asphalt surfacing. Only applied vertical stress was used for the analyses. It was found that the fatigue life of the road surface layer can be reduced by as much as 94% and strain energy of distortion be increased by a factor of 2.8, depending on the characteristics of the tire model input selected for road pavement design and analysis.

Состояние проблемы. Считается, что уменьшение толщины слоя в пределах допуска не оказывает существенного влияния на надежность и долговечность дорожной одежды. Так как конструкция дорожной одежды, как правило, состоит из нескольких слоев, можно предположить, что занижение толщины слоев в пределах допуска может оказать негативное влияние на прочность конструкции в целом. Применительно к отечественным нормам проектирования и строительства данное предположение остается не изученным. Результаты. Проведен анализ показателей, характеризующих толщину слоя, и практик назначения строительных допусков. Проанализированы исследования влияния допуска на надежность дорожной одежды и рекомендации по корректировке толщины слоев конструкции под влиянием допусков. Выполнены моделирование и расчет конструкций с учетом допусков. Выводы. Полученные результаты подтвердили предположение о том, что уменьшение толщины слоев дорожной одежды в пределах допусков негативно влияет на все критерии прочности. Предложено решение по устранению несогласованности между строительными допусками и нормами проектирования. Statement of the problem. Reducing the layer thickness within the tolerance is considered not to have a significant effect on the reliability and durability of the road surface structure. Since the construction of roadways usually consists of several layers, the assumption that understating the thickness of the layers within the tolerance can have a negative impact on the overall strength of the structure is not unreasonable. In relation to the domestic standards for the design and construction of this assumption has not yet been studied. Results. The analysis of indicators characterizing the layer thickness and practices for the purpose of construction tolerances, analysis of recommendations in the design standards for correcting the thickness of the layers of the structure due to the influence of tolerances, studies of the influence of tolerance on the reliability of road pavement, modeling and calculation of structures with allowances, suggestions are provided. Conclusions. The results confirmed the assumption that reducing the thickness of road surface layers within the tolerance limits negatively affects all the strength criteria. We have proposed a solution in order to eliminate inconsistencies between construction tolerances and design standards.

The article reviews the stability of an automobile on the road pavement with ruts. The problems of road safety depend on many factors. One of those is the quality of the road surface. Big heavy lorries deform the road surface causing ruts especially in the first line of the road. The article analyzes the influence of the geometry of ruts on the stability of the automobile. A mathematical model of a 3D automobile and the interaction between wheels and the road surface and the geometry of the road surface are presented. The mathematical criterion of the stability of the moving automobile on the road surface with ruts is laid down. The results of mathematical simulation and the criterion of the stability of the moving automobile (60 km/h) on the road surface depending on the depth of ruts are introduced.

Processing Techniques

Various technical equipment are used for surveying the condition of the road surface. One of the most modern methods for assessing the state of roads is mobile laser scanning (MLS), which allows obtaining a point model of road surface with high density accuracy and in a short period of time. After generating a digital surface model (DSM) from an array of laser points, we can identify various defects of the roadway and evaluate its flatness. A prerequisite for obtaining reliable survey results is increased accuracy of the pre-processed point cloud. During pre-processing 2D scanners and digital cameras are calibrated, point clouds are adjusted and filtered. The necessity for increased accuracy of pre-processing results for the purpose of generating the DSM imposes certain requirements on data processing techniques. For this purpose, additional study of the MLS data accuracy should often be carried out. The results of preliminary processed MLS data in order to generate high-accuracy DSM of road pavement are discussed.

the possibility of obtaining structural and thermal insulation foam concrete of non-autoclave hardening with improved construction and technical characteristics for the device of a thermal insulation layer in the con-struction of road pavement due to three-dimensional dispersed reinforcement with polypropylene fiber is theoretically justified and experimentally confirmed. Based on the results of studies of the influence of technological factors on the properties of foam concrete, the optimal content (up to 0.25% of the cement mass) and the length (12 mm) of reinforcing polypropylene fibers have been established, which allows ob-taining high strength indicators of dispersed-reinforced cement stone for bending (an increase of 12-20%) and compression (an increase of 6-12%) compared with non-reinforced cement stone of non-autoclaved foam concrete. The analysis of the process of structure formation of dispersed reinforced foam concrete from the standpoint of a systematic approach based on multifactorial polynomial models of the influence of the ratio of filler and binder, as well as the number of dispersed reinforcing fibers, which is determined by the optimal conditions for the distribution of solid and gas phases, as well as the reinforcement of adjacent interstitial partitions of foam concrete, linking them into one asociate, which ensures the joint work of the material under various external influences. A method was developed to increase the durability of the road surface and eliminate the influence of the frost heaving effect on the quality of the road surface by intro-ducing the necessary amount of effective thermal insulation layer into the road surface design. The analysis of the regularity of the heat transfer process in the soil mass of the roadbed and multilayer road pavement is carried out. Based on the analysis, the values of the necessary resistance to heat transfer of road pavement for the natural and climatic regions of the country are determined and a method for calculating the value of the thermal insulation (frost-proof) layer of road pavement is proposed. A method was developed for calcu-lating the value of the thermal insulation layer using monolithic fibre foam concrete and a nomogram to de-termine the required value of the thermal insulation layer made of monolithic non-autoclaved structural and thermal insulation fibre foam concrete of classes D600-D1000.

The application of asphalt hot mix recycling is one challenge in sustainable road pavement research. In addition to the vast amount of research on the performance of recycled asphalt–concrete, the research on the frictional resistance of recycled hot mix asphalt is still limited. The effects of aged asphalt and aged aggregates on the skid resistance of recycled hot mix asphalt were investigated in this research. The aged asphalt and aged aggregates were carefully extracted from the field-reclaimed asphalt pavement, and the engineering and mechanical properties of aged and virgin aggregates were measured. The degradation of recycled hot mix asphalt was simulated using an accelerated polishing machine to mimic road surface abrasion. Accordingly, the initial and final skid resistances of the recycled hot mix asphalt were determined and correlated with the properties of the aged asphalt and aggregates. The initial skid resistance of recycled hot mix asphalt decreased with reductions in penetration and ductility of the blended asphalt. However, the changes in the blended asphalt properties contributed only small variations to the final skid resistances of the recycled hot mix asphalt. The gradations of recycled hot mix asphalt correlated only with the final skid resistances. The aggregate gradations controlled the characteristics of the final skid resistance since the covered binder was partially polished off from the road surface at this stage.

The type of road pavement directly influences the way vehicles are driven. It’s common to find papers that deal with path detection but don’t take into account major changes in road surface patterns. The quality of the road surface has a direct impact on the comfort and especially on the safety of road users. In emerging countries it’s common to find unpaved roads or roads with no maintenance. Unpaved or damaged roads also impact in higher fuel costs and vehicle maintenance. This kind of analysis can be useful for both road maintenance departments as well as for autonomous vehicle navigation systems to verify potential critical points. For the experiments accomplishment upon the surface types and quality classification, we present a new dataset, collected with a low-cost camera. This dataset has examples of good and bad asphalt (with potholes and other damages) other types of pavement and also many examples of unpaved roads (with and without potholes). We also provide several frames from our dataset manually sorted in surface types for tests accuracy verification. Our road type and quality classifier was done through a simple Convolutional Neural Network with few steps and presents promising results in different datasets.
