Multi Functional Vehicle

The Dynatest Multi Functional Vehicle (MFV) is a van or pickup truck specially designed with different equipment and technologies to carry out pavement surveys on roads and airports. Essentially, the Dynatest MFV consists of several subsystems that are added on top of a basic system.

The MFV combines the features of the Road Surface Profiler and the Laser Crack Measurement System (LCMS) from Pavemetrics.

The MFV can measure the International Roughness Index (IRI/RN), Ride Number (RN), longitudinal and transverse profile, macrotexture, traveling, and geometrics such as crossfall, gradient, and radius of curvature.

The LCMS provides 3D or 2D pavement imagery across a 4m width, allowing for rapid and accurate crack detection and classification. Additionally, the MFV is equipped with up to 8 Right Of Way cameras (ROW), providing a complete view of the road.

The MFV also offers safety by enabling surveys of roads and airports to be carried out from a vehicle at normal traffic speeds, day or night, without the need for traffic management.

The MFV is designed to carry out different types of pavement test’s at the same time.

The choice of van or truck is almost free within the specifications and is at the user’s own expense.

The modules of the MFV consist of:

• Road Surface Profiler (Dynatest RSP)
• Laser Crack Measuring System (LCMS)
• Right Of Way cameras or omnidirectional cameras
• Distance Measuring Instrument (DMI)
• GPS (geo-referenced)

Each Dynatest MFV is customized with the appropriate combination of technologies based on the end-users pavement data collection goals, needs and objectives.

• Operating at traffic speed no need for traffic management
• Data can be collected 24/7 at speeds up to 62 mph (100 km/h)
• Rapid evaluation and screening of all sections of the network
• The crack detection and classification allow rapid and accurate identification of cracks
• The 3D capability of the LCMS allows for the rating of raveling
• Surveys in 4m width, producing a continuous image of the pavement surface in a single run
• Detects cracks as narrow as 1mm
• Dynatest Rating Module (DRM) allows for manual distress analysis of the pavement surface to be performed quickly
• Safer measurement procedure for both the operator and the public
• Collecting IRI, RN, longitudinal and transverse profile, crossfall, gradient, radius of curvature, automated crack data, macro texture etc.

Dynatest Road Surface Profilers have a feature called “Stop & Go” allows measurements of IRI and RN at all traffic speeds, even at junctions, traffic lights, roundabouts, and short sections. Testing can be carried out under normal circumstances, saving time and money.

Without this, it’s impossible to test pavements less than 150 meters long or areas where speed is reduced. This saves time & money and ensures correct datasets. No need for rubber “banding” and no need for calculating averages.
