###### Abstract
However, despite the above research solutions for monitoring the construction quality of asphalt pavement, the following problems still exist: (1) Due to the limited monitoring methods available on construction sites, feedback from monitoring at the construction stage is not available in a timely manner, thereby resulting in an inability to effectively control the construction quality of asphalt concrete pavement [13]; (2) Although China previously deployed a pavement construction quality control system and automatic monitoring equipment, the system relies too much on manual data collection with low efficiency and inaccurate data, thus affecting the quality of asphalt concrete pavement [14]; (3) Construction of asphalt concrete pavement is complicated with many stages and there are various issues to be tackled in the construction processes. Further, if digital monitoring is only performed for one of the stages, such as paving or compaction, this is not enough to support the overall asphalt concrete pavement monitoring system [11]. Therefore, given the above problems that still need to be addressed, this study proposes to use a new generation of information technology (IT) to combine with the process of asphalt concrete pavement construction to establish a whole-life system (i.e., production, mixing, transportation, paving, and rolling of asphalt mixtures) for monitoring of asphalt concrete pavement construction. The study is focused on a number of key underpinning areas, namely implementing the concept of information transmission in the whole life cycle; combining with the management system of asphalt mixture production, mixing, transportation, paving, and rolling; and collecting data for each link of the production of pavement base and surface layer through the internet of things software and hardware system to improve the quality of asphalt. The data for the production and mixing, transportation, paving, and rolling process of production and mixture are dynamically monitored. This ensures the standardization of quality data in the whole life process of mixing, transportation, paving, and rolling, which fully conforms to the quality of construction management. The management concept of process visualization and responsibility traceability improves the intelligent level of pavement construction management and improves the quality and safety of asphalt concrete pavement. The innovations of this empirical study can be summarized according to the following themes: (1) Improvement of the quality of pavement construction through digital monitoring of asphalt mixture production, mixing, transportation, paving, and rolling; (2) Integration of BeiDou technology and 5G technology with pavement construction, where the combination of monitoring technologies improves positioning accuracy, data collection breadth, and transmission efficiency; (3) Achievement of real-time data traceability by linking the data of each system in real-time. The purpose of this study is to enable efficient management of the whole process of asphalt concrete pavement construction. To achieve this goal, the research uses a combination of BeiDou satellite navigation, internet of things technology, and smart sensors to develop a full life-cycle digital monitoring system for asphalt concrete pavement, where data collection and transmission are enabled via 5G wireless networks. This study provides an innovative new method for the construction monitoring of asphalt concrete pavement. The article is structured as follows: Section 2 describes the literature on asphalt pavement monitoring systems and related technologies. Section 3 describes the research methods and findings. The case studies in Section 4 validate the monitoring system framework proposed in this study. Finally, Section 5 summarizes the research results of the study and the direction of future research.
