Practical Implementation of Intelligent Compaction Technology in Hot Mix Asphalt Pavements

TL;DRAbstract

Intelligent Compaction (IC) is a major innovation in compaction technology that has been studied extensively in the US over the last five years. IC is defined as a process that uses vibratory rollers equipped with a measurement/documentation system that automatically records various critical compaction parameters in real time during the compaction process. The recorded information is then displayed for the roller operator and project personnel to improve the compaction process. Field studies by the authors and other researchers have shown that IC has many potential benefits that can result in better compaction processes and improved process/quality control/acceptance procedures. These benefits are likely to result in the construction of longer lasting asphalt pavements. Suppliers of IC technology have conducted extensive research and development and are geared up to make IC rollers commercially available. In short, the stage is now set for agencies that would like to implement the use
