12 Trimble Paving Solutions and Applications (2D & 3D) Greg Hasty Trimble Navigation / SITECH North, Central Florida

13 Trimble PCS400 2D Paving Guidance to grade (elevation-thickness) and/or slope 2D is Ground-up 2D Systems typically place a constant thickness over the base Trimble PCS900 3D Paving Guidance to grade and slope at a known position using a design/model 3D is Design-down and does not use the existing surface for guidance

14 Paving Electronics (Today and Future) Trimble PCS400 2D Paving Applications Typical: Roads and Commercial Surfaces

15 Paving Electronics (Today and Future) Trimble 30 Sonic Averaging Beam

16 Trimble PCS900 3D Paving Applications Any project where a contractor uses stringline or wire for elevation grade Eliminate stringline or wire on a project Variable depth and slope paving applications Airports, roads and commercial surfaces Base material (P209, gravel, etc ) Asphalt Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) Concrete Treated Base (CTB)

17 3D Paving Applications

18 3D Paving Components with UTS MT900 Display Radio Adj Mast & Angle Riser (2x) Total Station AS450 (2x)

19 Advantages of 3D Paving Achieve the highest accuracy and smoothness levels Better material management Eliminate the stringlines: Reduce staking labor, downtime and errors Reduce costly rework Finish the project faster Pave complex designs Use an Uncompacted Design to help differential compaction issues For most applications, includes levelling course in the same pass

20 Managing Differential Compaction 3D Designs describe the final finished surface 3D/Grading systems use vertical offsets to build up to this surface Final asphalt lift is designed to finish at this surface Must allow for compaction Fluff or Compaction Factor Need to place the asphalt a little higher to compensate for low areas E.g.: 2 compacted, placed at 2.5 Compaction Factor = 2/2.5 = 0.80

32 Paving Electronics (Today and Future) RD-M1 Description RD-M1 is a portable vehicle mounted road surface scanning system. Scans of the road surface are captured from a downward facing LIDAR scanner with typical scanning width of 6 meters to ensure adequate lane overlap. Precise timestamped data from all sensors is collected and stored on the laptop computer for post-processing. The resulting data is used to create a detailed 3D point cloud of the road surface.
