The calculations of road structures' elements and the evaluation of reliability of data related to them are necessary for conducting justified and timely repair work, for forecasting the service life of road pavements, as well as for increasing the durability of motorway. Modernization of monitoring system, improvement of instrumental base structures, implementation of innovative methods in road construction allow carrying out more detailed research of road structures' temperature and humidity conditions, analyzing their deformation stability under real-life conditions, and as a result, increasing measurement accuracy and reliability. Scanning devices used in the process of remote monitoring are characterized by tightness, high reliability and maintainability, their data is automatically read and transmitted to the server [1]. The input data obtained as a result of monitoring road structures' condition are used to assess the impact of destructive factors of all elements of the system - the motor road, they are used to justify the application and selection of innovative materials and technologies. The obtained information allows imagining the processes that take place inside road structures and analyzing the peculiarities of external and internal factors' impact on the service life and durability of the road.
