• 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.
