Dynapac has innovated a software for the optimization of compaction of asphalt. This new application works on computer installed in the cabin of the roller, helping operators to achieve the ideal of compaction pattern to control the number of passes and the temperature of the asphalt. The Analyzer of the Dynapac Compaction for asphalt (DCA-A) stood as a world novelty in the last edition of the fair Bauma as an option for the new articles tandem rollers: the CC424, CC524 and CC624. In addition, it can also be adapted to older machines. The introduction of the DCA class A continues the road opened in 2004 with a similar software (DCA), but for use in the compacting of Earth. DCA-A was developed to give operators information in real time on the past, allowing them to plan the following past on the basis of the actual temperature of each area.

Keep the number of passes in this way allows the operator maintain control of the optimal pattern and achieve the best results. Good planning of the operation of compaction ensures work done more efficiently saving both time and fuel. With the DCA class A, operators can see the results on a screen using a colored graphic, standing out at a glance what areas need additional compaction. Without DCA class A, they will remember in detail how many passes have been made in each area. System is used in combination with a system of global positioning (GPS) to track the location of the machine, allowing the accurate recording for each section of land.
DCA - A incorporates readings from the sensors of temperature at various points around the roller. Through this traceability of temperatures, guide the operator to work in critical areas close to its maximum cooling, thus achieving the correct compaction of these and avoiding those too hot for a proper compaction.
The system provides the full documentation of the work of compaction, resolving claims of guarantee on the achieved quality, to provide information for response and the revision of the same. DCA - To work in a rugged computer laptop, ideal for use in the harsh conditions of the workplace. It is mounted on a stand in the upper left part of the cockpit, giving a clear visibility to operators and easy control through the touch screen. The system works with a wide range of GPS receivers so that customers can use their existing receivers. There is no need to have a computer for each roll because it is a laptop, this you can install in a roller to another quickly and easily.
Operators can use DCA class A jointly with the software "PaveComp" of Dynapac to calculate the number of passes required to achieve the density suitable for a mixture in particular. The incorporation of an in your laptop USB port provides an easy transfer of data back to the Chief authorising officer of the Office. The future methods include the use of a radio módemo. The system also potentially has the possibility of communication between more than a machine.
