 INTRODUCTION
 Well maintained road are necessary for effective
transportation.
 The detection of pavement deterioration is crucial,
since it has direct impact on users safety and
comfort.
 The pavement distress detection are done by
manually, semiautomatically and automatically.
 Automatic method are effective and timesaving.

 PAVEMENT DISTRESS
 Pavement – To carry vehicular or foot traffic.

 Transmit vehicular road load into subgrade.

 Irregularity or failures in pavements – DISTRESS.

4
 TYPE OF DISTRESS
 CRACKING

 Common type of distress

 Caused by,

shrinkage of surface

Thermal expansion

5
Longitudinal cracking Transverse cracking

Alligator cracking Slippage cracking

6
 FAULTING

 The difference in elevation between the joints in

pavement
 Occur in rigid pavement
 CAUSES
 Repeated traffic load
 Differential deflection at joint
 Thermal and moisture gradient in the slab 7
 POTHOLE
 Depression in the road surface
 CAUSES,
Insufficient pavement thickness
insufficient drainage failure at utility trenches

 RUTTING
 Longitudinal depression in the wheel path
 Caused by repeated heavy load
 Type –mix rut , subgrade rut

DISTRESS DETECTION USING RADAR
 GROUND PENETRATING RADAR
 Non- destructive technique
 Using electromagnetic energy of high frequency for
working-10MHz-3GHz
 Measure dimension depth and thickness

17
 LIDAR BASED PAVEMENT DISTRESS
DETECTION SYSTEM

 The lidar ranging system consisted of a laser

scanning system, a GPS receiver and an inertial
measurement unit.

18
 WORKING

 The point cloud data of the section is acquired.

 Road feature guide lines was determined.
 The point cloud data near the guide line was extracted.
 Form point cloud template.
 Section slice point cloud is determined.
 Road spatial coordinate were calculated.
19
 ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
High speed of working Requires experience to
operate
High work efficiency Purchasing high-end lidar
sensor are costly
High extraction precision

No interference with
traffic

 DISTRESS DETECTION USING
IMAGE TECHNOLOGY

 DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING

 It deals with manipulation of image through digital
computer.
 It helps to detecting crack, faulting and temperature
segregation of pavement.
21
WORKING

 Image acquisition
 Image restoration
 Color image processing
 Segmentation processing

22
 ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES

Non destructive Limited resolution

Large scale analysis Dependance on lighting

condition
Easy to interpret Limited applicability

 AUTOMATIC PIXEL LEVEL
DETECTION
 CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK
SYSTEM
 It is a type of artificial neural network used in image
recognition to process of pixel data.
 It is used for detecting cracks and potholes on
pavement.

24
WORKING
 It has three layer-convolutional layer , pool layer, fully
connected layer.
 Input to the CNN is image capture by digital camera
 Convolutional layer- sharpening or blurring effect to
the input.
 Pooling layer-Reduction of dimension of features of
image.
 Fully connected layer-connect all the layers in network.
25
 ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES

 PAVEMENT DISTRESS DETECTION
TECHNOLOGY BASED ON LASER RANGING
 RANGING TECHNOLOGY BASED ON LASER
SENSER
 Commonly used for detect rutting and roughness.
 Laser ranging sensor, longitudinal roughness
detection beams, rectangular beam frames, rutting
detection beam.
28
WORKING
 Laser ranging sensors are installed on rutting detection
beams.
 Pavement surface could be detection from various
orientation and angle.
 Laser ranging sensor-rutting testing beam-rutting
information.
 Laser ranging sensor-longitudinal roughness detection
beam.

29
 ADVANTAGES DISADANTAGES

Measurement is accurate Laser sensor can damage

eyesight

Laser sensor can range up It have high cost

to several km

It is easy to install

 CONCLUSION
 Road are primary and most widely used mode of
transportation. Proper management of road, timely
inspection of road is crucial. Using GPR, image
technology, pixel level detection, laser sensor and
lidar make inspection effective, easier, and time
saving.
 Pavement distress method is an essential tool for
maintaining safe, efficient and sustainable
transportation infrastructure.
