• Network survey vehicle is used for automatic collection of road inventory and
pavement condition .Related data required for road asset management, pavement
maintenance management system and Road safety audit related studies.
• Network survey vehicle deals with road condition and pavement analysis in defining
true condition of road network.
• Road inventory and pavement condition survey plays a vital role in the management
of Highway network.
• These surveys provide the most valuable information of road inventory, pavement
performance analysis, and is vital in order to forecast pavement performance,
anticipate maintenance and rehabilitation needs, establish maintenance and surveys

Cracking:
1. Alligator Cracking :
Alligator cracking are interconnected cracks, forming a series of small blocks
resembling an Alligator condition. This occurs when the sub-base gravel fails to
provide adequate support for the Asphalt pavement. It is also known as Fatigue
cracking, and repeated heavy loads and moisture create excess flexing of the
surface.
LOW:
Longitudinal disconnected hairline cracks no greater than 1/8 inch wide running
parallel to each other; initially may be only a single crack in the wheel path but
also look like an Alligator pattern.
MODERATE:
Longitudinal cracks in wheel path forming an Alligator pattern; cracks may be
lightly spalled and are about an1/8 to ¼ inch wide.
HIGH:
Cracking has progressed so that pieces appear loose with severely spalled edges;
cracks are probably ¼ inch wide or greater; pumping of fines through the cracks
may be visible on the pavement surface; potholes may be present.

2. Block Cracking :
Blocking cracking is not associated, but generally caused by shrinkage of
the asphalt pavement due to an inability of asphalt binder to expand and contract
with temperature cycles. This can be because the mix was placed too dry, poor
choice of asphalt binder, or aging dried out asphalt.
(a) Low severity cracks (<1/2 inch wide). Crack seal to prevent
• Entry of moisture into the subgrade through the cracks
• Further ravelling of the cracks edges.
(b) High severity cracks (>1/2 inch wide and crack with ravelled edges).

3. Longitudinal cracking:
Longitudinal cracking are individual and run parallel to the centreline.
They are caused in inadequate bonding between paving lanes or asphalt shrinkage
from low temperature.
• These can be a result of both pavement fatigue, reflective cracking, and
poor joint construction.
(a) . Low severity cracks (<1/2 inch wide and infrequent cracks). Cracks seal
to prevent.
• Entry of moisture into the subgrade through the cracks.
• Further ravelling of the cracks edges.
(b). High severity cracks (>1/2 inch wide and numerous cracks). Remove and
replace the cracked pavement layer with an overlay.

4. Transverse cracking:
Transverse cracking are single cracks perpendicular to the pavements centre
(or) laydown. Transverse cracking can be caused by reflective cracks from an
underlying layer, daily temperature cycles, and poor construction due to improper
operation of the paver.
(a). Low severity cracks (<1/2 inch wide and infrequent cracks). Cracks seal
to prevent.
• Entry of moisture into the subgrade through the cracks.
• Further ravelling of the cracks edges.
(b). High severity cracks (>1/2 inch wide and numerous cracks). Remove and
replace the cracked pavement layer with an overlay.
5. Edge cracking:
Edge cracks travel along the inside edge of a pavement surface within one or
two feet. The most common cause for this type of crack is poor drainage conditions and lack
of support at the pavement edge. As a result underlying base materials settle and become
weakened.

6. Slippage cracking:
Slippage cracks are crescent-shaped cracks or tears in the surface layers of
asphalt where the new materials has slipped over the underlying course. This problem is
caused by a lack of bonding between layers.
