Abstract:In New Zealand, most roads are chip-sealed over granular base pavements, which rely on the Transverse Variable Application Spray Bar (TVAS) during the resealing process. TVAS sprays a lower application rate of bitumen in the wheel path areas to limit flushing and uses a higher application rate outside of wheel path areas to limit raveling. Currently, this is carried out by visually identifying the wheel paths where flushing and raveling exist. This manual process is prone to human bias. Ideally, pavement resea… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
