This paper, authored by members of the Transportation Research Board Committee on Soils and Rock Instrumentation, provides a description and overview of applications for the transportation industry including site investigation, laboratory testing, and field monitoring. These areas of instrumentation impact on pavement testing, environmental monitoring, and in determining the response of infrastructure to natural hazards. Data acquisition, transmission, and management are key areas of interest. Within this broad scope, developments in sensors and in computer hardware and software have influenced instrumentation and data communication and continue to offer new possibilities. |
