Development of Pavement Temperature Measurement System for ICART

Performance of hot-mix asphalt is dependent on temperature and loads applied to the pavement, among other factors. Researchers will design pavement temperature sensors for the Illinois Certification and Research Track (ICART) that will measure and record temperatures at various levels in the pavement. Monitoring pavement temperature at various levels will help to better understand how pavement reacts to changes in weather conditions, allowing engineers to optimize design.
