ASPHALT EXPERT SYSTEM ®©

ASPHALT EXPERT SYSTEM ®© (full name ASPHALT EXPERT SYSTEM ®© - ADVANCED ASPHALT APPLICATION PRO) is an expert system based on successful integration of RATIONAL ASPHALT TECHNOLOGY ®© (logic, universal postulates and expert knowledge base), the last generation of Non-linear Optimization Technologies and the compilation of the valid findings from asphalt world research & practice.


ASPHALT EXPERT SYSTEM ®© is true asphalt resource optimization and data management technology which delivers intelligent solutions at desired level for any given situation, effectively solving 85-90 % of the issues that occur and/or might occur in the field.


ASPHALT EXPERT SYSTEM ®© ‘cutting edge’ software package consists of variety of various purpose ‘stand alone’ and interconnected applications divided into two groups.


Group I called ‘EXPERTISE’ - ‘Stand Alone’ applications are the following: Goal Seek' ®©, 'Asphalt Wizard' ®©, 'What If?' ®©, ‘Cost & Effect' ®©, 'Specifications Validity' ®©, 'Status Verification’ ®© plus Educational Modules (‘Fundamental Errors in Conventional Thinking / Methodology’ & ‘The Essence of Plastic Deformation’).


Group II called ‘GRAND MIX DESIGN ’ - The package of interrelated programs (full name ’Grand RATIONAL ASPHALT TECHNOLOGY ®© HMA Mix Design’ ®©, ‘Rational Lab Control’ ®© & ‘Optimum Constructability Assurance’ ®©). The additions are the relevant portions of conventional ‘Superpave’ ™ (mix-design method) and ‘Nottingham Design Method’ (structural / thickness pavement design).


ASPHALT EXPERT SYSTEM ®© is recognized as ‘technology of tomorrow available today’ and as ‘risk free- high gains’ investment. The software technology becomes more and more popular among visionaries and cost conscious doers across asphalt industry. This ‘bread & butter’ tool serves a variety of business / administrative / research / educational environments worldwide such as: Asphalt Contractors, Certified Asphalt Laboratories, Consulting & Engineering Companies, Road Directorates, Highway Institutes, Road Material Departments at the Technical Universities, Airfield & Road Engineering Departments of the Ministries of Defense, Court Experts, etc.


ASPHALT EXPERT SYSTEM ®© provides total control over hugely diversified line of Dense Graded (DG) & Open / Gap Graded (OG) Asphalt Composite Structures >>> DG HMA (Heavy-Duty Asphalt Concrete - the surface, intermediate, base layers for INEXPENSIVE PERPETUAL PAVEMENTS), OG HMA wearing layers (SMA, Friction / Noise Absorptive, etc.), MODIFIED asphalt mixtures such as: Rubberized Asphalt Mix (RAM), Glassphalt™, Color Asphalts, etc.


ASPHALT EXPERT SYSTEM ®© runs exclusively on Microsoft™ desktop/laptop operating systems (2000, XP). The software was written in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), a programming language based on Visual Basic which expands the ability to automate tasks in [Excel ®©] and to provide user friendly interaction (UFI) and user defined functions (UDF) for use in worksheets.
