#1 Transportation Research Board 2025

NEXCO exhibited and presented at the 2025 Transportation Research Board (TRB) this week. For those of you who stopped by our booth or listened to our president Mr. Matsumoto's lecture on the development of multi-IRT camera stacking technology, thank you! This year, we are offering several new, significant developments in our data acquisition approaches! As our TRB presentation this week detailed, NEXCO is actively developing a dual IRT camera collection method to enable the assessment of asphalt-covered bridge decks. The method further increases analysis confidence levels for bare decks as well! So far, we have found that time-lapse IRT collection, active heating, or collection during very narrow time windows are the only successful ways to obtain accurate data for asphalt-covered bridges. However, none of these methods were practical to apply on large scales (ie. corridor or network-level projects), and cannot be easily collected from a mobile vehicle. To overcome this issue, layered imagery collected at two different angles has already produced highly accurate results in real-world case studies. During these case studies, asphalt covers were removed, and the condition of the bare concrete deck was confirmed by hammer sounding and GPR collection. Bridge owners can look forward to this exciting new technology being implemented soon. Reach out to our team to schedule a time to demo this approach in your region!
