Scope of Work: The scope of work includes continued development of the laser scanning system, data analysis software and an expanded testing effort to enlarge the database with the current participating Agencies and the addition of new State Agencies. The anticipated tasks in this effort are: 1. Sample Collection, Scanning and Modeling of Test Parameters: Aggregate samples along with laboratory testing results shall be supplied by participating Agencies for laser scanning and modeling activities. Aggregates will be fingerprinted and engineering property prediction models created as specified by each Agency. 2. Hardware, Software and Data Handling, and Modeling Modifications: Methods for improving material flow, laser focusing, data processing, data modeling will be incorporated into the effort as needed to improve spectral output resolution and improve model prediction. 3. AASHTO Standard of Practice: Work on the preparation (in coordination with the AASHTO Subcommittee on Materials Testing) of a Standard Test Method for using a laser scanning system as an aggregate testing method. A draft of this practice was prepared as part of the NCHRP 168 final report. 4. Project Management, Reporting and Annual Review Meetings The Principal Investigator shall coordinate all technical and administrative activities amongst the Participating Agencies and the Research Team. One representative from each participating Agency will be designated the Agency Project “Representative”. Travel for annual review and planning meetings is provided (up to $2000 per year per agency) by the project funding. 5. Technology Transfer Meeting: Each state shall have the option of scheduling a Technology Transfer Seminar at a designated in-state location for State DOT staff, University Staff and Student Training to be presented by the Research Team personnel.
