Abstract

The pavements have developed in recent decades, as studies have introduced new materials in their construction, such as types of asphalt, new standardising and new requirements for the surface characteristics. The surface characteristics, specifically the critical contact surface with motor vehicle tires, is able to provide higher quality, speed and travel comfort without compromising the integrity of mobile vehicles and their traveler. The pavement, as a construction element, is linked with the road transport systems in a complex way, since essentially the supporting structure, which is responsible for the movement of vehicles. Modern technology has improved the stability, quality and safety of the road surface using new materials and construction techniques. The provision of permanent deformation is necessary both during the design phase and construction and during the operation phase of a pavement. It explores the impact of factors affecting development and can provide valuable information on the performance of road against traffic loads. This permits the better management of the road network. The study informs the types of deterioration found in asphalt pavements, as well as a number of types of maintenance, along with new ideas and suggested solution.
