IC Navigator

The IC research team of the FHWA/TPF IC project has developed an IC Road Map based on lessons-learned and knowledge-gained through numerous efforts since 2008. The IC Road Map is to lay out the shortest path for IC implementation by overcoming gaps and barriers through streamlined strategies. This will include applications of IC technologies to various pavement materials including subgrade soils, subbase, and asphalt mixture materials.

There are four major tracks with three subtracks under each major track:

Track 1 — Equipment and Technologies

• Subtrack 1.1 : Standardization of IC roller measurement systems
• Subtrack 1.2 : Practical use of GPS in IC
• Subtrack 1.3 : Valid In-situ point tests to correlate with IC measurements

Track 2 — Data Management and Integration

• Subtrack 2.1 : National IC database and data collection guidelines
• Subtrack 2.2 : Standardization of IC data storage and exchange
• Subtrack 2.3 : A software tool for IC data viewing and reporting

Track 3 — Specifications

• Subtrack 3.1 : National guidelines for IC QC/QA specifications
• Subtrack 3.2 : Expert Task Group (ETG) for AASHTO IC specification development
• Subtrack 3.3 :Technical support for States specifications development and customization

Track 4 — Technology Transfer and Training

• Subtrack 4.1 : IC workshops and certification
• Subtrack 4.2 : IC field demonstration
• Subtrack 4.3 : IC website and knowledge base
