Abstract
Pavement condition is a factor of major interest due to its direct contribution to safety and comfort of the users of the road. Consequently, road inspections imply the evaluation of different parameters such as roughness of the pavement, skid resistance, and presence and condition of cracks. Although the first two parameters can be quantitatively evaluated with different sensors, the latter is usually only qualitatively assessed by visual inspection. This paper deals with this drawback through the combined application of Ground Penetrating Radar and Infrared Thermography to the detection and characterization of cracks in pavement and their origins.
