Next-generation radar technology for roads, airports and ports.
It collects all data as it drives, including video imagery, to monitor the response of a pavement when placed under load. Several cameras are mounted to the iPAVE to collect asset and pavement imagery.
Data provided 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 may be subject to failure, allowing local government, road agencies and airport and ports managers the opportunity to decide where best to spend their valuable maintenance dollars.
Benefits
- Can be applied to roads, ports and/or airports
- Collects pavement condition and structural parameters in one pass
- Ability to operate at traffic speed
- Increased operator and road user safety
- More data measurements than traditional methods (i.e. FWD)
- More cost efficient as no traffic control is required
- More flexibility in survey planning and network coverage.
Hawkeye Integration
The Traffic Speed Deflectometer (TSD), manufactured by Danish company Greenwood Engineering, has been fully integrated into NTRO's Hawkeye platform.
Additional Hawkeye sensors are fitted to the iPAVE for measuring roughness, rutting, texture and automated cracking.
Several cameras can also be mounted to collect asset and pavement imagery.
The NTRO Hawkeye platform's unique acquisition and processing software fully synchronises all data streams ensuring structural and surface condition measurements are time-stamped and measured simultaneously.
