Claims20
A system for locating and tracking an object, the system comprising:
- a measuring device configured to determine a property of a paving-related material, the measuring device comprising an RFID tag;
- a locating device configured to determine a location of the measuring device;
- a tracking module configured to track the measuring device;
- a communications module that transmits tracking information to a remote device;
- and
- at least a first interrogator at a first location and having a first range, the first interrogator configured to detect the RFID tag upon the measuring device arriving within the first range, and upon detecting the RFID tag, communicate location information to a central computer system, the central computer system configured to maintain a history of the location information received from the first interrogator.
