Purdue Expert: Measuring Salt Pile Volume

Media is welcome to use this video for TV, radio or podcasts or pull quotes for print articles. Darcy Bullock is a professor of civil engineering at Purdue University and the director of the Joint Transportation Research Program. In this video, he explains how the salt monitoring and reporting technology (SMART) platform will help the Indiana Department of Transportation accurately measure how much salt is left in stockpiles. Bullock says that the SMART platform was created to measure road salt stockpile volumes faster, safer, cheaper, and more accurately than traditional methods. Before SMART, salt stockpiles were estimated visually by workers, leading to measurements being off by up to 40%. With this new technology, Bullock says SMART can accurately estimate salt stockpiles within 1% in less than 10 minutes. He says that the SMART sensor platform uses a collection of cameras and LiDAR to scan and map out the amount of salt within storage facilities. #purdue #purdueuniversity #purduenews
