...  c h a p t e r 2 2.1 Continuous Compaction Control and Intelligent Compaction Roller-integrated CCC has been used in Europe since the late 1970s, while IC technology has been available since the late 1990s. This section summarizes the history of CCC and IC as well as key results of previous research studies on CCC and IC in both Europe and the United States.

...  Grabe concluded that there were no patterns in the roller MV data maps. Grabe found that CMV values at close distances were correlated, and he concluded that the data had an infinite correlation length (limited by the sample size of the data)

...   If a significant portion of the grade is more than 20% in excess of the selected corrected IC-TV, the engineer shall reevaluate the selection of the applicable control-strip-corrected IC-TV. If an applicable corrected IC-TV is not available, the contractor shall construct an additional control strip to reflect the potential changes in compaction characteristics.
