Y2K status PaveCool. Y2K - compliant.
Poor compaction can lead to early deterioration of an asphalt pavement.
It often happens when paving occurs during adverse weather conditions. Yet, in cold regions like Minnesota, paving must often occur under adverse conditions. PaveCool simulates the cooling of an asphalt mat behind the paver under a variety of environmental conditions. Users input the type of existing surface, type of asphalt mix, and weather conditions. The output shows a cooling curve with recommended compaction starting and stopping times.
