Abstract
The present disclosure considers a system and method that can predict soil compaction and machine-specific productivity rate across multiple soil conditions without requiring site-specific samples and multi-variable lab testing. The method and system disclosed here can utilize predictive algorithms combined with a soils database to predict soil response to compaction energy across a range of soil moistures for the range of compaction machines available to predict compaction performance.
