Nondestructive Evaluation of Loop Sensor Installation
This project utilizes Ground Penetration Radar (GPR) to analyze the loop wire and sealant around inductive loop installations. It measures the locations and sizes of cracks, the sealant, the loop wire, and the pavement. This should allow determination of whether the loop was installed correctly in accord with specifications and whether it needs maintenance.
