(Problem statement)
The recent unprecedented increase in highway networks in India has increased the need to
maintain safe and smooth roads. The increasing number of road surface anomalies such as
cracks, surface irregularities, and anomalies can lead to vehicle damage and accidents.

Road networks represent an essential factor in economic prosperity and well-being. The
transporta-tion efficiency and driving safety of road networks are mainly impacted by
assorted damages and defects on the road surface. In current traditions, it may take weeks
or even months before competent government departments repair such road conditions,
fundamentally due to the lack of timely awareness of them.

Roadway infrastructure is susceptible to structural degradation on account of material
deterioration primarily caused by heavy traffic, harsh weather conditions, aging, poor
construction quality, and lack of appropriate maintenance.
