Volvo Construction Equipment will soon introduce the Volvo Intelligent Compaction (IC) for select Volvo asphalt compactors available in two packages - Volvo IC and Volvo IC with Density Direct. In addition to offering the pass mapping, temperature mapping and data storage features of the Volvo IC system, Volvo IC with Density Direct includes the industry?s first real-time density mapping technology.

?Density mapping has been described as the ?holy grail? of intelligent compaction. The first to come up with the technology will be the one to radically advance the paving industry, it was said, and that?s exactly what Volvo has done,? said Dr. Fares Beainy, Research Engineer at Volvo CE.
