Historically, on highway construction projects truck drivers collect paper tickets for every truckload they haul to a job site from a material plant. This practice of paper tickets is cumbersome and outdated. Electronic ticketing (e-Ticketing) automates the process. e-Ticketing is a market-ready digital innovation that automates the recording and t

Highly modified asphalt (HiMA) is an asphalt mixture containing asphalt binder that is typically modified with 7 to 8 percent polymer. Styrene-butadiene-styrene is most commonly used and is more than twice what is typically used in conventional polymer-modified binders. By increasing the polymer content, the structure changes to a swollen polymer w
