Target Customer § General Contractors – medium to large sized companies § Paving Specialists doing production paving § Many are medium sized companies § Often as a sub for a general contractor § Rental houses § Most compactors are rented for the first few years
Goals for Asphalt Compactors § Goal of asphalt contractors = achieve the target mat density as efficiently as possible § What does that mean: – Minimize number of rollers by running most efficient rolling pattern – Minimize fuel usage – Avoid over-compaction – Avoid under-compaction – Avoid re-work
Customer issues with asphalt compaction: Pass count Tracking § To reach desired compaction, the compactor operator needs to achieve a certain pass count target. § However: – With a requirement of up to 8 passes, the operator easily loses track and the job becomes guesswork – The contractor cannot monitor compaction performance and cannot verify accurate completion of the compaction job
Customer issues with asphalt compaction: pass count tracking § Tracking the pass count without CCS 900 shows the huge inconsistency in pass count § Result: – – Inconsistent density Under compaction Over compaction Penalties, missed bonuses, premature road failure and legal issues Pass Count § Example: Source: Twente University, 2008
Customer issues with asphalt compaction: asphalt temperature § You can only compact asphalt within the 80 -160 ºC (175 -320 F) surface temperature window – Below 80ºC*: material too hard to compact, possible to crush surface – Above: 160ºC*: material too soft and can be displaced § It’s an art for the operator to correctly judge the optimal time window for compaction Example limited time window (50 mm thick, delivery temp, 135ºC) *: Temperature values can differ dependent on mix type and equipment used
Adding Science to the Art of Paving § Better Info to the Operator = Better Surface § The CCS 900 system provides: – Pass count maps to avoid over/under compaction – Real-time temperature maps for the operator to find the optimal window for compaction – Documentation of compaction effort across the entire project – Verifiable as-built information for sign-off and payment
Pass Count Mapping § Takes the guesswork out of asphalt compaction – More consistent compaction effort to target pass count – Increased productivity to taking the most efficient rolling pattern
Temperature Mapping § New Trimble IS 310 Infrared Sensor § One front, one rear facing § Leading sensor active § Replaceable lens
Temperature Mapping § New Trimble IS 310 Infrared Sensor § Provide temperature maps for a user definable min and max value § User defined high/low temp warnings are displayed over the machine icon § Operator can watch pass counts and temp warnings on the same screen
In-field reporting § Proofing mode and summary – On-machine validation of final compaction runs – Increases the quality of the final compacted material § In-field reporting – Get real-time summary of work completed – Print in-field with thermal printer for sign-off and approval

Competition
OEM’s Offering Asphalt Compaction Technology Ammann/Case (ACE) Bomag (Asphalt Manager) Volvo (in development) Hamm (HCQ) Dynapac (DCA-A) Sakai (CIS) Focus of these players is on Intelligent Compaction using compaction sensors
Trimble CCS 900 differentiation vs. OEMs § After market installation – Any compactor from any manufacturer – Used and new machines – Open cabs and enclosed cab § System designed for harsh construction environments – Reuse hardware on any type of machine
Trimble CCS 900 differentiation vs. OEMs § Expertise – Many compaction solutions struggle with: § Rugged, daylight readable displays, computers § Site setup for RTK GPS, radio communications § Local coordinate systems § Design data (importing, preparation, management, display) § Office software solutions – All are Trimble core competencies!
Aftermarket Competition § Not whole lot – OEM’s doing in-field install on their own brands (only Dynapac today) – OEM focused players (Voelkel, Moba) – Topcon offering 3 D sensors
