Roads and highways

Safe roads and highways are a crucial elements of infrastructure. This applies to both new contraction of asphalt pavements as to maintenance, so it is important to keep a close eye on the condition of roads. Thereby the awareness among road authorities for a safe road surface also leads to an increasing demand for carrying out control measurement.
