Asphalt Concrete Pavement

With the rapid development of new technologies, such as big data, the Internet of Things (IoT) and intelligent sensing, the traditional asphalt pavement construction quality evaluation method has been unable to meet the needs of road digital construction. At the same time, the development of such technologies enables a new management system for asphalt pavement construction. In this study, firstly, the dynamic quality monitoring system of asphalt concrete pavement is established by adopting the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, intelligent sensing, the IoT and 5G technology. This allows key technical indicators to be collected and transmitted for the whole process of asphalt mixture, which includes the mixing plant, transport vehicle, paving and compaction. Secondly, combined with AHP and the entropy weight (EW) method, the index combination weight is calculated. The comprehensive index for the pavement digital construction quality index (PCQ) is proposed to reflect the impact of monitoring indicators on pavement quality. An expert decision-making model is formed by using the improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm coupled with radial basis function neural network (RBF). Finally, the digital monitoring index and pavement performance index are connected to establish a full-time and multi-dimensional digital construction quality evaluation model. This study is verified by a database created from the digital monitoring data of pavement construction collected from a highway construction project. The system proposed in this study can accurately reflect the quality of pavement digital construction and solve the lag problem existing in the feedback of construction site.

New Strategies

Remote sensing platforms have become an effective data acquisition tool for digital agriculture. Imaging sensors onboard unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and tractors are providing unprecedented high-geometric-resolution data for several crop phenotyping activities (e.g., canopy cover estimation, plant localization, and flowering date identification). Among potential products, orthophotos play an important role in agricultural management. Traditional orthophoto generation strategies suffer from several artifacts (e.g., double mapping, excessive pixilation, and seamline distortions). The above problems are more pronounced when dealing with mid- to late-season imagery, which is often used for establishing flowering date (e.g., tassel and panicle detection for maize and sorghum crops, respectively). In response to these challenges, this paper introduces new strategies for generating orthophotos that are conducive to the straightforward detection of tassels and panicles. The orthophoto generation strategies are valid for both frame and push-broom imaging systems. The target function of these strategies is striking a balance between the improved visual appearance of tassels/panicles and their geolocation accuracy. The new strategies are based on generating a smooth digital surface model (DSM) that maintains the geolocation quality along the plant rows while reducing double mapping and pixilation artifacts. Moreover, seamline control strategies are applied to avoid having seamline distortions at locations where the tassels and panicles are expected. The quality of generated orthophotos is evaluated through visual inspection as well as quantitative assessment of the degree of similarity between the generated orthophotos and original images. Several experimental results from both UAV and ground platforms show that the proposed strategies do improve the visual quality of derived orthophotos while maintaining the geolocation accuracy at tassel/panicle locations.

Weathering Resistance

The comparative analysis of quality indicators of asphalt concrete and methods of their control is discussed in the present article. Classifications of modifiers for improving the quality of asphalt concrete are given. Novel nanoscale modifier for the improvement the resistance to climatic influences on asphalt is developed. The nanomodifier is based on sols of iron hydroxide and silicic acid. Nanomodification consists in processing of the mineral component by nanomodifier; such processing leads to the formation of nanoscale layer on the surface of the mineral carrier. As a mineral carrier we propose a highly porous mineral diatomite powder. The influence of the nanomodifier on the weathering resistance of asphalt concrete is investigated. Resistance to climatic influences was estimated by loss of strength after one nominal year of exposure. To simulate environmental impacts, an environmental chamber was used. The specimens were held in conditions that correspond to combination of summer and winter climate. One nominal year of exposure included 10 cycles of variable water saturation-drying at a temperature of 20 °C and 10 cycles of freezing-thawing (freezing was performed at –20 °C, thawing – at 20 °C). Saturation-drying and freezing-thawing duration was four hours. It was shown that by means of nanomodification the weathering resistance can be increased by 36 %.

Chip seal is most frequently used as preventive maintenance (PM) treatments on asphalt pavement. However, it’s difficult to make the performance test of chip seal in laboratory. In this paper, the specimen molding method of chip seal is established in laboratory. Firstly, considering the structure and technique condition of the original pavement, a cushion layer of asphalt concrete (AC) is used as under layer of the specimen. Secondly, the construction process of chip seal is simulated in laboratory, which includes spraying emulsified asphalt and/or glass fiber, spreading aggregate, initial rolling and conservation, post-stage rolling and conservation in interval for some time. Lastly, visual inspection and sand patch test are used to evaluate the quality of the specimen. Research results show that the method of specimen molding and test in laboratory could relatively accurately simulate, evaluate and forecast the performance of the chip seal.
