1. A method of resurfacing an existing road surface or the like comprising the steps of:

  • (a) obtaining a measurement of actual surface profile as a function of distance over the existing road surface,(b) identifying a desired road profile by electronically simulating characteristics of vehicle response travelling over the measured road surface profile while selectively electronically altering wavelength content of said measured profile until said characteristics of vehicle response achieve a preselected standard, and(c) modifying the existing road surface to obtain said desired profile by propelling road resurfacing equipment over the existing road surface while continuously controlling said road resurfacing equipment as a function of a difference between said desired profile and said measured profile.
