Evaluation of pavement response instrumentation

Abstract

The report focuses on aspects such as possible wireless data transmission, standardization and mesurement methodologies and sensor technology. Various avenues are explored for the development of sensors while new emerging technologies that could find application in Accelerated Pavement testing (APT) is also examined for possible developemnt. The evaulation also highlighted the possibility of extending the present sensor technologies by enhancements such as lowering the noise floor of the electronics and smart sensor application.
