What's the use in predicting a fail point in the road base gravel when you pave in June, and then the seasons, weather, temperature, ground water, frost level, humidity, traffic variations and countless other variables come into play?
With this tech you might be able to prevent 0.01% of deficiencies.

Let's go back to oiling down gravel roads to suppress dust!
