Improving paving quality with Roadscanners’ RD Paver Service
The Roadscanners RD Paver service is a tool for real-time monitoring and storage of asphalt paving temperature and paver speed data. The main purpose of monitoring this information is to minimize problems caused by thermal segregation leading to the development of high asphalt air voids content.
RD Paver Service
Measurements with a thermal camera positioned directly behind the paver are taken throughout the entire paving process. A touchscreen monitor on the paver allows to observe the collected data in real-time and remotely through the 3G/4G network. Additionally, the user-friendly RD Paver interface provides users with detailed information and makes it possible to follow up problems and make immediate corrections.
Ultimately, this technique helps the paving crew to ensure temperature uniformity which is critical for avoiding areas of asphalt segregation and thus achieving the optimal density.
Real-time Monitoring
The RD Paver system also includes a website service for real-time monitoring. It is possible to store the results in a database for later use. Utilization of the website service makes the quality assurance process transparent to everyone involved.
RD Paver system, an innovative self-reporting pavement quality control tool, facilitates quick and non-destructive segregation control for the entire width of the pavement.
User friendly Interface with real-time assurance
The Road Doctor® Thermal Diagnostics interface simplifies quality control, offering real-time insights for immediate action and avoidance of thermal segregation risks.
Outputs for paving temperature and voids
Utilizing thermal cameras, Road Doctor® Thermal Diagnostics efficiently spots high void content areas, as the paving temperature correlates with asphalt voids.
Self-monitoring and reporting
Embedded in Road Doctor® Thermal Diagnostics, the RD Web Service allows autonomous pavement quality monitoring and reporting. As a result, it ensures a dynamic quality assurance process for efficient and accountable outcomes.
