1. A mobile apparatus for production of images of a roadbed underlying a roadway, comprising:

  • means for transmission of a first RF transmission through a section of said roadbed to a first receiving antenna;

    means for transmission of a second RF transmission through said section of said roadbed to a second receiving antenna;

    software running on a computer configured to receive said first RF transmission communicated to said first receiving antenna and produce a first electronic image depicting said section of said roadbed;

    said software running on said computer configured to receive said second RF transmission communicated to said second receiving antenna and produce a second electronic image depicting said section of said roadbed;

    means to ascertain a terrestrial location of said section of said roadbed and provide an association of said location with said section;

    said software running on said computer configured to combine said first electronic image and said second electronic image into an assembled electronic image of said section of said roadbed;

    said computer having electronic memory in operative communication therewith and adapted for storage of said assembled electronic image of said section and said associated location of said section; and

    whereby said mobile apparatus engaged upon a vehicle traveling along said roadway operates to transmit each of said first and second RF transmissions through a plurality of individual said sections of said roadbed to produce individual respective said assembled electronic images of each of said plurality of said sections along a direction of travel of said vehicle to provide series of said assembled electronic images each having a said terrestrial location associated therewith.
