28 The Prototype of Wireless Network Application in Asphalt Pavement Operations Management

Due to demand for information in asphalt pavement process management and advances in wireless network technology, this paper aims at integrating GPS and RFID technologies in an automated data collection system. First, the author reviewed the past research in the construction industry and then presented the supply chain in the asphalt pavement process. Next, he provided a prototype solution. Finally, a case study was conducted on automated data collection in asphalt pavement management. Keywords-GPS; RFID; construction management; automated data collection system.
