World’s Largest Pavement Testing Facilities To Use HeadLight Platform

HeadLight Project Intelligence technology to assist with collaboration on shared research efforts

SEATTLE--()--Pavia Systems, the leading software firm focused exclusively on transportation infrastructure, announced today it has partnered with MnROAD in support of their collaboration with the National Center for Asphalt Technology. The world’s two largest, full-scale accelerated pavement testing facilities are now utilizing the HeadLight Project Intelligence™ platform by Pavia Systems to enhance their joint research efforts providing guidance to benefit all state and local DOTs.

Minnesota-based MnROAD recently joined Alabama-based NCAT in using HeadLight to share all research data supporting experiments with similar roadway construction materials under high- and low-volume traffic conditions to determine the effects of climatic differences on pavement performance.

“The HeadLight platform enables us to share photos and videos of our research findings in one central location, all while collaborating in real-time,” said Ben Worel, MnROAD Operations Engineer, MnDOT. “This detailed collaboration will improve coordination of both the research with NCAT but also allow us to share visual findings with our customers on the pavement performance, which ultimately enables us in providing cost-effective solutions that can be implemented nationwide.”

The two primary experiments in the partnership focus on pavement preservation and validation of cracking tests in a broad range of climate conditions. Research efforts by each organization, shared by using HeadLight, lead to safer and more cost effective pavement designs that can be adopted by state DOTs and municipalities across the country.

“With MnROAD now using HeadLight, we have a shared technology platform in place that greatly enhances our joint efforts in covering parallel experiments under an exceptionally broad range of climatic conditions,” said R. Buzz Powell, NCAT Assistant Director and Test Track Manager. “A real-time view into both the north and south test sites expedites our delivery of implementable findings to partnership research sponsors.”

The parallel studies are aimed at producing findings that can be directly implemented by a larger base of state departments of transportation who may have had previous concerns that findings from just one test track were not directly applicable to their climate or pavement surface type. All data related to the cracking and pavement preservation research will be stored for use by teams at each location and can be made available to other stakeholders now and in the future within the HeadLight platform.

Pavia Systems collaborated with industry experts to develop the HeadLight Project Intelligence™ platform as a tool for transportation construction teams to increase productivity, streamline communications, and prevent losses. By increasing collaboration within the project team and enabling high quality rich media updates to project stakeholders from day one, HeadLight helps to minimize risks and save money by accelerating issue resolution and project delivery for the traveling public.
