Today, trucks weigh significantly more than ever before and are capable of carrying much larger payloads. The situation is further exacerbated by the decline of railroads. These factors in conjunction with inclement weather result in a major challenge that transportation departments throughout the country face - road damage in the form of potholes. Potholes are not only the cause of significant damage to vehicle suspension systems but may, in severe cases, result in serious accidents and permanent injury. Year- round pothole repairs is also a major reason for the depletion of state funds. The United States alone spends billions of dollars every year on pavement maintenance. Thus there is an impending need for pothole repair techniques that are cost effective as well as long lasting. This chapter begins with a description of the causes for pothole formation in Section 1.2. This is followed by a description of the types of materials and techniques commonly used for pothole repair. The spray injection technique of pothole repair is discussed in some detail leading to the need for an automated pothole repair vehicle. Section 1.3 delineates the research objectives of this thesis. Section 1.4 lists the major contributions. This thesis follows the style of IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. The final section provides an overview of the organization of the thesis. 1.2 Potholes-causes and repair methodology “A pothole is any pavement defect involving the surface or the surface and base, to the extent that it causes significant noticeable impact on vehicle tires and vehicle handling. All po
