The International Society for Intelligent Construction (ISIC) will conduct the next webinar from 9AM to 11AM US CDT (2PM WET, 10PM Beijing Time), March 30, 2023. The topic is “How Veta Leverages Values of Intelligent Construction Technologies”. Veta is a public domain software to view and analyze geospatial data from various intelligent construction technologies (ICT). ICTs are innovative technologies that include the characteristics of perception, analysis, decision-making, or execution that improve efficiencies, qualities, and infrastructure construction. Veta development has been sponsored by the US FHWA and transportation pooled fund studies (TPF) since 2013. Veta currently supports Intelligent Compaction (IC), Paver-mounted thermal profiler (PMTP), dielectric profile systems (DPS), etc. Veta will also support E-Ticketing, Material Delivery Management Systems (MDMS), Ground penetration RADAR (GPR), and other ICTs in the next few years. This webinar will provide a brief history and background of Veta. Speakers from the Department of Transportation (DOT) and contractors will also share their perspectives and demonstrate field case studies on how Veta helps them to leverage the values of IC, PMTP, and DPS to diagnose asphalt paving issues and make timely corrective actions to improve the pavement qualities. Register here (https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/602984700057392732).
