Abstract:RFID technology was proven to be successful in tracking dump trucks from loading plant to a paver location on a highway project. The average roundtrip time was 1 hour and 4 minutes. However, 3% of this data has truck delivery times in excess of 2 hours, with two trucks more than 5 hours roundtrip time. There were approximately 16% data errors in zero data entry for roundtrip times. There were human errors in recording truck identification numbers and load type. The RFID recording technology appears to have worked properly. Human error at the weigh station can be eliminated by total automation. The requirements changes altered the approved SOW significantly; this should be taken into consideration for future RFPs.
