Roads are built in any country to be used for a longer time. They also wear in many ways as days go and it is considered 20 years is an ideal lifespan of an asphalt road in India. Again, many factors such as volume of traffic, heavy load, high quality of bitumen emulsion, excellent workmanship and other factors contribute to the lifespan of the road. Government and road constructors want their road projects to have a lasting impression. To acquire this, they use different methods and techniques. For example, they ensure the construction of roads always incorporates high-quality bitumen emulsion.

As we have seen, there are many ways to increase the lifespan of roads. One of the best and novel ways is the automatic identification of cracks on roads. Traditionally, many methods are used to detect road cracks. The problem lies in the accuracy of detection. Manual methods make it difficult to determine cracks and ruts on the road. Moreover, it is proven to be:

• Dangerous 
• Costly
• Non-precise

Automatic detection of cracks

Automatic detection of cracks is beneficial for governments as well as organizations that are directly related to road construction. The fully integrated system for automatic detection is very helpful in identifying cracks and other ruts on asphlat roads. Advanced technology like image processing is used rather than manually labelled samples. So, it is far better than manual visual surveys in which human subjectivity is used to detect deformations on roads. Sample paradigms are heavily used in automatic road detection. These paradigms are selected and used for unsupervised training of the system. Image repositories make the system more accurate, and predictable when it comes to road deformation. 

Long way to go….

Though the automatic detection of pavement cracks is beneficial for road constructors, the technology still developing gradually. Many countries face it is challenging to apply. Image databases collected by the proposed technology also raise challenges such as photometric and geometric characteristics of crack. Apart from automatic detection of deformation, you can also use high-quality bitumen emulsion to build sturdy roads. When a road constructor compromises quality, it will likely have a perilous effect on roads. One day, cracks and ruts will emerge questioning the whole effort of constructing a new road. 

Bitumen 

Bitumen is the soul of modern road construction. Adhesiveness, bindness, and consistency are its main characteristics. It is available in dark black colour or semi brown-black shade. When you create asphalt roads using the high-quality bitumen emulsion cracks have a long way to arrive. Naturally, there is less dependency on automatic crack detection systems to repair roads as soon as possible. 

In short, the roads tend to have a longer lifespan if it’s constructed as per industry standards without compromising the quality of materials. Even the finest road will wear and using technologies like automatic crack detection can help you repair roads before aggravation.
