The
objective of the proposed study is to develop an “Intelligent Asphalt
Compaction Analyzer (IACA)” for real-time monitoring of compaction
level in the field. The Intelligent Asphalt Compaction Analyzer (IACA)
comprises of (i) an Intelligent Asphalt Compaction
Module (IACM) that can be integrated with a vibratory compactor, and (ii)
Intelligent Compaction Process Guidelines. The Intelligent Asphalt
Compaction Module (IACM) will primarily consist of sensors (e.g.,
accelerometers, temperature, pressure, displacement), an onboard computer
that will process the signals from the sensors, a customized software and
hardware package with pattern recognition and classification capability, and
accessories including display panels, compaction level indicator lights,
mounting brackets, etc. The Intelligent Asphalt Compaction Process
Guidelines will document the steps to be followed in achieving a desired
compaction level in the field including the calibration of the IACM and
interpretation of data. |
