Report
Publication Number:

Abstract:

This document presents the results of evaluations of radio frequency identification (RFID) for a set of pavement applications: tracking of placement of truckloads of hot mix asphalt (HMA) in the pavement, tracking of placement of truckloads of Portland cement concrete (PCC) in the pavement, real-time measurement of pavement temperature versus depth and time during intelligent compaction, early detection of reflection cracking in overlays, and guidelines for integration of material property data from construction and pavement performance data during service via RFID-assisted geolocation.
