Abstract:Current Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD)
practice allows multiple mixtures or materials to be submitted and subsequently
used during a highway construction project. Such materials include mechanically
stabilized earth (MSE) wall units, concrete, asphalt, and aggregate. Other items
include precast elements such as girders, barrier wall, pipe, box culverts, and traffic
signs. It can get difficult to track these elements after a few years of use. The
ability to identify constituent materials of transportation assets for future forensics
is desired. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a promising new technology
that can assist in the tracking of materials by using embedded or attached tags for
database-recording of material properties.
