• Description:
  Laser scanning of transportation aggregate materials provides a means to identify aggregate types, sources, and quality in near real-time. The Transportation Pooled Fund (TPF) effort described in this report began as a sequel to a TRB IDEA Program proof of concept laboratory study in 2012, and culminated in the development of the first commercial laser scanning system for transportation aggregate. This system is currently in operation at the Kansas Department of Transportation materials testing laboratory in Topeka, Kansas.
