Heavy burdens are placed on runways daily; thus, it is necessary to monitor these surfaces regularly. The appearance of distortions can cause difficulties for aircraft when they land or take off, which occurs mainly for lighter planes. This can be seen in reduced grip, uneven use of tires, problems with measurement systems, and unbalanced drive, which can result in damage to or even destruction of the plane or its parts. For that purpose, the model of continuous monitoring of distortions on and under the surface of the runway was created. This model is based on geodetic and geophysical methods. The method for monitoring distortions was developed into a decision-making model in the shape of a geo-information base. The results provide an image of the state of the runway including damage on and under the surface, which are the most common causes of runway distortions. The data are automatically recorded in the newly established information system, which supports the decision making regarding renovations and runway maintenance. The measurement on the runway takes 30 min, which does not lead to a long closure of the airport and, thus, reduces traffic jams and additional costs.
