This report summarizes the critical input, data processing, and output functions that are expected to be performed by IVHS-class TMCs. It describes how these functions are currently performed by the sample of existing high-technology centers and how the functions might evolve with near-term technology advancements and automation. It addresses a series of important TMC design considerations including the user-centered design process, operator selection and training, system evolution and advanced automation, user interface design, and job performance aids.Performed by Georgia Institute of Technology, Electronic Systems Laboratory, under contract no.

Seismic pavement analyzer operations manual with technical specifications / by Baker, Mark Richard,1954-(CARDINAL)323587; Crain, Kevin.(CARDINAL)323583; Nazarian, Soheil,1955-(CARDINAL)323585; University of Texas at El Paso.Center for Geotechnical and Highway Materials Research.(CARDINAL)323584; Strategic Highway Research Program (U.S.)(CARDINAL)298325;
This report describes an instrument for monitoring conditions associated with pavement deterioration that was designed and constructed as part of the Strategic Highway Research Program. The conditions measured are voids or loss of support under a rigid pavement; moisture infiltrating asphalt concrete pavement; fine cracking in pavements; delamination of overlays; and aging of asphalt. These conditions of deterioration are determined by estimating Young's and shear moduli in the pavement, base, and subgrade from the wave propagation measurements. The details of the instrument are described. This report includes a user's manual along with the technical specifications for the device.Executive summary -- Introduction -- Start-up and main menu operations -- Acquisition -- Analysis -- Table setup -- Menu and interpretation templates -- Directory structure -- Appendix A: System design -- Appendix B: Troubleshooting.
