3、OPE 1.1. This work shall consist of compaction of roadway embankment, or asphalt pavement, or both, using Intelligent Compaction (IC) rollers within the limits of the work described in the plans or provisions. 1.2. IC is defined as a process that uses rollers equipped with a measurement-documentatio

4、n system that automatically records compaction parameters (e.g., spatial location, stiffness, temperature, pass count, vibration amplitude, and frequency) in real-time during the compaction process. IC rollers equipped with accelerometers use roller vibration measurements to assess mechanistic mater

5、ial properties and to ensure that optimum compaction and uniformity is achieved through continuous monitoring of operations. 1.3. The contractor shall supply sufficient numbers of rollers, and other associated equipment, necessary to complete the compaction requirements for the specific materials. 1

6、.4. This specification is to be applied during the contractors quality control. 1.5. All tasks are the contractors responsibility, unless designated otherwise within this provision. 2.

Definitions: 3.1.1. clouda Web-based user interface. 3.1.1.1. cloud storagenetwork storage (typically the Internet) where the IC data are stored in virtualized pools of storage. 3.1.1.2. cloud computingthe use

10、 of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network to enable near, real-time visualization (maps) and manipulation of IC data. 3.1.2. control points (sometimes referred to as “survey marks,” “survey markers,” “monuments,” “hubs,” or “control points”)object

11、s placed to mark key survey points on the earths surface. These markers are used to indicate elevation and horizontal position. 3.1.3. coordinate systema system that uses one or more numbers or coordinates to uniquely determine the position of a point or other geometric element on a manifold such as

12、 Euclidean space. 3.1.3.1. geodetic coordinatesa non-earth-centric coordinate system used to describe a position in longitude, latitude, and altitude above the imaginary ellipsoid surface based on a specific geodetic datum. WGS84 and NAD83 datum are required for use with Universal Transverse Mercato

13、r (UTM) and State Plane, respectively. 3.1.3.2. state plane coordinatesa set of 126 geographic zones or coordinate systems designed for specific regions of the United States. Each state contains one or more state plane zones, the boundaries of which usually follow county lines. There are 110 zones i

14、n the continental United States, with 10 more in Alaska, 5 in Hawaii, and 1 for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The system is widely used for geographic data by state and local governments because it uses a Cartesian coordinate system to specify locations rather than a spherical coordinate

15、system. By ignoring the curvature of the earth, “plane surveying” methods can be used, speeding up and simplifying calculations. Additionally, the system is highly accurate within each zone (error less than 1:10,000). Outside a specific state plane zone, accuracy rapidly declines, thus the system is

16、 not useful for regional or national mapping. The current state plane coordinates are based on NAD83. Issues may arise when a project crosses state plane boundaries. 3.1.3.3. Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)a metric-based, geographic coordinate system that uses a 2-dimensional (2D) Cartesian coor

17、dinate system to give locations on the surface of the earth. This system divides the earth between 80S and 84N latitude into 60 zones, each a six-degree band of longitude width, and uses a secant Transverse Mercator projection in each zone (the scale is reduced so that the cylinder slices through th

18、e model globe). Zone 1 covers longitude 180 to 174W; zone numbering increases eastward to zone 60 that covers longitude 174 to 180E. 2017 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved.

It is one of several closely related successors to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For most purposes, UTC is synonymous with GMT. It is based on a 24-hr time

Three GNSS systems are currently in operation: the United States Global Positioning System (GPS), the Russian Federations Global Orbiting Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS), and Europes Galileo. Each of the GNSS systems employs a constellation of

36、 orbiting satellites working in conjunction with a network of ground stations. 3.1.7.1.

37、 satellites. This system also provides the time stamp needed for IC. 3.1.7.2. GPS base stationa GPS receiver at an accurately known fixed location that is used to derive correction information for nearby portable GPS receivers. This correction data allows propagation and other effects to be correcte

38、d out of the position data obtained by the portable GPS receivers, which provides increased location precision and accuracy over the results obtained by uncorrected GPS receivers. This system consists of an antenna, radio, radio antenna, and power source. The radio and environment/physical condition

39、s control the distance that the correction signal travels. The typical range of the correction signal is about 3.2 km (2 miles) in radius without repeaters. A repeater may extend the distance an additional 3.2 km (2 miles). 3.1.7.3. Real Time Kinematic (RTK)RTK satellite navigation is a technique us

40、ed to enhance the precision of the ground-based data derived from satellite-based positioning systems (e.g., GPS, GLONASS, Galileo).
