A PROGRAM FOR SMOOTHER ROADS

THE DEMAND FOR ALL-WEATHER ROADS HAS PRODUCED A NUMBER OF PLANS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE RIDING SURFACES OF NEW OR REWORKED HIGHWAYS. ASPHALTIC LAYDOWN EQUIPMENT WITH STRING- LINE SENSORING DEVICES FOR SURFACE CONTROLS AND THE USE OF THE ELECTRONIC COMPUTER FOR THE MATHEMATICAL COMPUTATIONS REQUIRED FOR SUCH CONTROLS ARE DISCUSSED. SUFFICIENT INFORMATION IS PROVIDED RELATING TO PROGRAM CONTROL AND REASONING AND THE MECHANICS OF INPUT AND OUTPUT DATA SO THAT THE READER CAN USE THE BODY OF THE PROGRAM INVOLVED AND PRODUCE OTHER PROGRAMS WHICH MAY DIFFER IN LOCAL DETAIL.
