The article explores the significance of road ways in the life of any country and the problem of using the proper road-covering materials to keep them useable. In present times, this is carried out using special equipment and road laboratories, to which the paper pays particular attention. It also provides an analysis and a diagnostic process covering the general condition of the roadways. Subsequently, the document contains descriptions of road-covering materials now being used and others which are still virtually unused. These materials are analyzed and their shortcomings enumerated. The review also provides a detailed description of a special device designed by professionals in the field of road construction to identify road gaps. The critique’s block diagram assesses the different road coverings and gives a complete description of how all the components of the developed system function. In conclusion, the blueprint analyzes the potential effects of introducing newly developed materials into regular service. The discussion covers the possible scope of their applicability and also defines the specific aspects which distinguish them from currently used counterparts.
