System and method for controlling a concrete mixture based on estimated concrete properties

A method comprising:

• obtaining, using a processing device and based on a thermal measurement and a measurement of an amount of each of a plurality of ingredients to a concrete mixture prior to batching, an initial value of a property of the concrete mixture;
• estimating, based on the initial value of the property of the concrete mixture, a determined transit route from a first geographic location to a second geographic location, an exterior color of a transport vehicle, and environmental data associated with the determined transit route, a change in the initial value of the property of the concrete mixture during transport of the concrete mixture from the first geographic location to the second geographic location;
• and
• controlling, based on the estimated change in the value of the property, a liquid nitrogen dispenser of a batching plant to dispense liquid nitrogen onto an aggregate stream carried by a conveyor belt to a mixing chamber of a concrete mixing device to change the value of the property of the concrete mixture after batching.
