Brief Description of Research ProjectIf successful, the outcome of this research will help state DOT pavement management offices better monitor and control the quality of the pavement operations undertaken by contractors. It addresses the issues in places where GPS signal could be a problem to the existing IC devices. Given the low cost, the proposed technology has higher promise for market penetration.
