As early as ancient times, people used the hooves of herds to tread, rub and pound the soil to treat the foundations of houses and compaction DAMS and river banks. Before the middle of the 19th century, western road engineering was mainly paved with gravel, and compaction was mainly by natural rolling of vehicles. It was not until the invention of stone rolling machine in 1858, which promoted the development of gravel road surface, that the horse-drawn roller gradually appeared for compaction work, which was the earliest prototype of road roller. In 1860, steam roller appeared in France, which further promoted and improved the construction technology and quality of gravel road surface and accelerated the progress. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was recognized that gravel pavement was the best road surface at that time and was popularized all over the world. The concept of compaction was gradually known by people, and the roller also appeared on various road construction sites.
