The stable skeletal structure formed by the interlocking mechanism of the spatial movement of aggregate particles during compaction is the mechanism by which asphalt pavements are compacted and shaped. A major problem facing conventional compaction monitoring is that lacking the ability to monitor particle movement and a real-time evaluation method for pavement compaction, which can easily lead to problems such as uneven compaction and over-compaction. In addition, vehicle speed is an important parameter for analysing the dynamic response of a pavement. Current vehicle speed monitoring relies on complex field equipment and the collected vehicle speed parameters are difficult to match with other sensors for fusion analysis. In this paper, a method for monitoring the compaction quality of asphalt pavements and a method for collecting vehicle speed is proposed based on intelligent aggregate and aggregates interaction mechanisms. The experimental results show that with the continuous action of the compaction machinery, the compaction state of the asphalt pavement can be reliably captured and monitored by studying the spatio-temporal movement pattern of the intelligent aggregates. Meanwhile, the analysis of the time nodes of intelligent aggregate attitude change under the action of vehicle load allows accurate acquisition of vehicle speed parameters. Therefore, the method proposed in this study can improve the accuracy of asphalt pavement compaction state control as well as the accurate acquisition of vehicle speed. It can provide a reference for the later analysis of the dynamic response of pavement loads and the intelligent compaction of pavements.
