As with all members of the Dynatest Model 8000 and Model 8081 Falling and Heavy Weight Deflectometer product lines (FWD & HWD), the TMD provides fully automated, fast, highly accurate and precise measurements suitable for use with standard analysis and design procedures including especially rigorous mechanistic-empirical analysis of pavement structures such as the proprietary Dynatest ELMOD (Evaluation of Layer Moduli and Overlay Design) program.
The use of a Dynatest TMD enables the engineer to determine a deflection basin generated by a simulated controlled traffic load with absolute and relative load/deflection measurement accuracy unsurpassed in the industry and guaranteed on a measurement by measurement basis.
Selecting from many possible types of rehabilitation to be implemented on a given pavement, or throughout a pavement network, is of considerable economic significance to society.
To reach such decisions without adequate knowledge of the structural condition and performance of the pavement system under traffic loading, as provided by the Dynatest TMD, can have very costly consequences over time.
