Details
Hot rolled asphalt is a popular material with local
authorities who value its superior durability when
compared to other surface course materials. However,
the measurement of the spread rate of pre-coated
chippings that are rolled into the material presents
safety, quality, cost, and data issues.

This talk will discuss a new method for automatically
measuring the rate of spread of pre-coated chippings
by using a chipper-mounted thermal imaging camera,
removing the requirement for using chipping trays,
improving the safety of chipping operations, and
delivering real-time data to chipper operators to ensure
high quality construction.
