Current processes for quality control of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) are inefficient and place considerable risks on HMA producers and transportation agencies. This project was established to explore possible new ways of gathering real-time quality control information. The two primary goals of real-time testing are: to dramatically shrink the time lag for quality control information, and to improve the reliability of the data. To meet the objectives of this study, a panel of individuals familiar with current and or new QC technologies was assembled to discuss concepts, brainstorm possibilities, and map out a general strategy for evaluation of new methods and technologies. |
