The intelligent Pavement Assessment Vehicle is the first and only comprehensive pavement measurement system in the world, providing structural and surface condition data at highway speeds. It’s a revolution in pavement management with complete datasets collected efficiently using high technology.
Lasers of the iPAVe monitor the response of a pavement to the application of a rolling load, providing data that includes continuous pavement deflection profiles, from which bearing capacity indices can be derived and pavement fatigue estimated.
The high accuracy and resolution of the iPAVe enables engineers to pin-point areas where the pavement has structural deficiencies and could be subj ect to failure.
Roughness, rutting, texture, geometry, and automated cracking are measured along with several high definition cameras to collect asset and 3D pavement imagery, with the Hawkeye Platform fully synchronizing all data streams.
Features
- Powerful tool in managing the condition, maintenance and life-cycle of road networks
- High resolution detail and accuracy enables both project and network level analysis
- Fully synchronised structural and surface condition and imagery measurements enable comprehensive forensic analysis of pavement failures
- Assists in identifying the cause of the pavement failure, and what treatment is (or is not) required
- Ability to determine the structural properties of the pavement including subgrade modulus, pavement modulus, and effective structural number
- Capable of collecting structural capacity of entire networks in just weeks, that would take decades via traditional means
- Interchangeable, scalable and identical Hawkeye outputs enables flexibility and optimization in network survey coverage
