Methods that improve pavement characteristics

From the ancient times to nowadays, people build roads in order to connect places. By building and maintaining road infrastructure, road builders tend to overcome the tenancy to achieve safer and more comfortable ride. A way to achieve the given goal is to improve the characteristics of road pavement. The parameters that asses the degree of road improvement are noise, grip, texture, damage and the flatness of the road surface. Methods with which one can enhance the road characteristics can be divided in three main parts, roughening, asphalt laying and the replacement of the upper road layer. Construction practice showed that by applying such methods, road do obtain better qualities. However, every method has its good and bad side.
