A state-of-the-art review of intelligent compaction measurement values (ICMVs) for subgrade and pavement: Advances and challenges

Compaction construction is one of the most critical factors affecting road performance and durability. To improve the construction quality and service life of road, intelligent compaction (IC) technology has received continuous attention. In contrast to traditional compaction construction, IC improves the compaction quality and uniformity of each road layer through real-time monitoring and adjustment of the compaction process. Intelligent compaction measurement values (ICMVs) were proposed to provide quantitative indexes for compaction quality monitoring and basis for dynamic regulation of compaction conditions. However, the current ICMVs have problems such as low accuracy and stability, and poor applicability under different working conditions, which limit the application of IC technology. To address these shortcomings, this paper conducts a state-of-the-art review of ICMVs, outlining the past research achievements and discussing future development directions. In this paper, the vibrating dynamical models of compaction was firstly summarized and the future research directions are proposed. Next, the existing calculation models of ICMVs are systematically investigated and the significant factors that affected ICVMs calculations are summarized. Solutions to eliminating influences from those factors are discussed in further, e.g., by a combined effort in improving calculations models for ICMVs and advancing the multiple regression analysis method.
