PMSS Project Details

 

Project ID:FHWA-PROJ-13-0016
Project Name: Self-Powered Wireless Sensor System for Monitoring of Pavement
Status: Programmed
Contact:Last Name:   Faridazar
First Name:   Fred
Telephone:  202-493-3076
E-mail:         fred.faridazar@dot.gov
Organization:Federal Highway Administration - Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC)
Office: Office of Infrastructure Research and Development
Team: Pavement Design and Construction Team
Roadmap/Focus area(s): Infrastructure Research and Technology Strategic Plan and Roadmap
Project Description: Advancing the state of practice in pavement structure health monitoring, including optimization of the field’s data collection/storage and integration of the collected data with the databases of the agencies.
Laboratories: Not Applicable
Start Date: November 13, 2012
End Date: May 13, 2015
Funding Amount:$0.00
FHWA Program Name: Infrastructure Earmark
Goals: Advancing the state of practice in pavement structure health monitoring.
Project Type: Offsite
Background Information: Data not yet available
Test Methodology: Sensor system
Other Information: Data not yet available
Partners: Data not yet available

Fieldtest: Data not yet available
Expected Benefits: Highway agencies will be able to facilitate more effective pavement maintenance and rehabilitation/preservation decisionmaking by detecting possible damage, monitoring mechanical load history, and predicting the fatigue life of the monitored pavements. Data would be collected from the sensors by driving over them and then, with global positioning system, the condition data could be linked to a pavement management system.
Deliverables: Name: Final report.
Product Type(s): Research report
Description: Final report.
Audiences: Long-term pavement performance stakeholders, Other highway agencies, Pavement designers, Researchers, Pavement engineers, Safety researchers, State highway agencies
