Complex Information Technology of Quality Control of an Asphalt - Concrete Covering of Highways

Abstract

Complex information technology of quality control of asphalt - concrete mixture is considered starting from the asphalt - concrete plant (ACP), then at the stage and transportation as well as during laying in the highway. The implementation of this technology is carried out with the help of the GPS /GLONASS satellite system, which in real time mode allows you to capture the required parameters. Then these information are transferred to the integrated management system for the ACP. The structure of information support is presented and analyzed. This structure, takig into account the current situation and the process of packing and compacting the mixture, corrects the mode of operation of the plant equipment and ensures the production of an asphalt - concrete mixture of the required quality. The developed complex information technology of quality control of an asphalt - concrete with the use of GPS/GLONASS system provides to increase productivity and quality of the work performed, can reduce the influence of the human factor on the quality of the finished road surface, provides remote monitoring of main parameters of not only the technical means but also laying material, provides during non standard situation adjustment of system parameters PLANT - ROAD MACHINE - ASPHALT - concrete.
