Materials and Road Research

Automated Machine Guidance

Equipment that uses positioning technologies such as GPS, robotic total stations, lasers, and sonic systems to automatically guide heavy construction equipment. Includes technologies such as AMG milling using either a robotic total station system or the existing surface, AMG muck excavation, and machine control.

Material Delivery Management System

The MDMS collects data associated with delivery of materials to a contract.  This includes E-Tickets, hauler, and loading and deliver event data. 

Quality Management-Intelligent Construction Technologies

Quality management-Intelligent Construction Technology (ICT) Consists of using ICTs to monitor compaction and placement operations during grading, reclamation and asphalt paving operations. Includes technologies such as Intelligent Compaction (IC) and Paver Mounted Thermal Profiling (PMTP).

Veta

Veta is software that maps and analyzes data collected from intelligent construction technology, such as intelligent compaction, paver mounted thermal profiling, and dielectric profile system. Veta can also analyze and map spot test data (such as moisture, density, temperature, deflection) with respect to ICT data.
