Opti-Grade Grading Management System

Traditional grader management treats an entire road with the same level of grading. That wastes time and money, and rougher sections continue to deteriorate while smooth sections are being graded. Optimizing grading requires fewer grader-hours and possibly fewer graders, and delays the loss of crushed surface material. The researcher will continue to implement the opti-grade system as well as updating the technology with a user friendly RF information download feature.
