Summer Reading for Pavement Professionals! The FHWA Mobile Asphalt Technology (MATC) continues to work with transportation agencies and the asphalt community around the country toward longer lasting and more sustainable asphalt pavements. See MATC’s three recent one-pagers about its visit and activities with the North Dakota Department of Transportation, including about NDDOT’s experience with the dielectric profiling system, a tool that gives a picture of asphalt density without boring holes.
