A data management tool highway officials and contractors use to optimise highway construction has just been re-released as a faster version with expanded capabilities. Veda 2.0 by specialty US highway engineering firm The 5943 Transtec Group (Transtec) is said to provide powerful data management and analysis for paving operations.

Funded by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), Veda is a free intelligent construction data management (ICDM) tool that displays, analyses, and reports data collected by intelligent compaction and PAVE-IR technologies during construction. Intelligent compaction tracks asphalt or soils compaction progress and PAVE-IR collects asphalt surface temperature during paving.

Veda 2.0 improvements are said to include easier data importing, faster display and analysis, improved design file compatibility, and the ability to handle larger jobs, multiple machines, and multiple compaction modes. Transtec claim that workers using Veda can expect to save more time and analyse data more effectively.

    Wirtgen’s novel inspection system offers a quick indication of wear rates on the cutting tools of the firm’s surface miners. Called the Wirtgen Pick Inspection (WPI) system, this tool comprises eight sensors that can make fast measurements and which are integrated into the cutting drum compartment of the surface miner. The sensors measure the degree of wear of the picks and the measuring process takes just one minute to complete, allowing it to carried out while changing trucks and reducing downtimes. The W

    The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement in the United States increased during 2013 after two years of no rise, according the latest report from the US National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA). The report found that more than 73 million tons of reclaimed asphalt pavement and 1.7 million tons of reclaimed asphalt roofing shingles were used in new asphalt pavement mixes in the United States during in 2013. Using recycled asphalt material saved about $2 billion in 2013 over the use of virgin materials,

    MOBA’s new PAVE-IR Scan system offers a new way of monitoring and documenting the temperature during asphalt paving for an entire project. As a result, contractors can optimise their work and verify the quality of the paving process. With the system’s intelligent temperature scanner, the system measures the asphalt temperature over the whole paving width of up to eight metres. The temperature profile is displayed in real-time on the display and the operator can react at any time if irregularities occur. All
