Use of Radio Frequency Identification Tags in Pavements
Project Information
Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-06-0020
Project Abstract:
This project demonstrated how radio frequency identification tags can be used during hot-mix asphalt production to provide information during construction as well as later that is linked into a materials management system and a pavement management system. This project also explored the feasibility of linking the information through a geographic information system.

Fiscal Year / AMRP Program / AMRP Activity:
- FY 2002-2022 / Infrastructure / Pavements and Materials
Project Outputs:
It is feasible to encase radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and pave them into an asphalt pavement. After construction, the tags could be read with a wireless reader traveling over the pavement at speeds up to 40 miles per hour.
