Backcalculation Tool
The Pavement ME Deflection Data Analysis and Backcalculation Tool is a standalone software program that can be used to generate backcalculation inputs from Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) files to the AASHTO Pavement ME Design software for rehabilitation design. The tool is capable of analyzing raw deflection data files from three FWD testing devices: Dynatest®, JILS and KUAB. The tool provides three major functions: pre-processing deflection data (including project segmentation), backcalculation, and post-processing of results to generate inputs for Pavement ME rehabilitation design. This tool uses the EVERCALC® algorithm for the iterative backcalculation process.
Although the tool is included with the Pavement ME Design software, it can also be licensed separately and used as a standalone single user application. A training presentation is available at http://me-design.com/MEDesign/Webinars.html.
| Description | Annual License Fee | |
|---|---|---|
| Standalone Single User Backcalculation Tool | $1,250 | |
There is no evaluation or educational version for the backcalculation tool.
