Pass mapping

Know where you've been, and where you need to go​
Just a quick glance at the pass mapping screen gives operators a clear view of their stop points and overlaps. Pass mapping guides operators through a uniform rolling pattern, without over or under compaction, so they can quickly and efficiently make adjustments to ensure they never miss a spot.​

Temperature mapping

Too hot to handle, too cold to roll​
Ensure compaction is completed at the optimum pavement temperature. A color-coded map of surface temperatures and the ability to set the maximum/minimum range enables the operator to easily avoid rolling with a mix temperature that is too hot or too cold.​

Density direct

Know you’ve done the job right​
​Accurately measure the quality of the pavement while you work, with Density Direct. Volvo’s patented solution provides a real-time estimate of the material density percentage and maps the entire job.

Setup for success

Take your first steps towards improving the quality of your work with the Compact Assist Start package. Start utilizes straightforward tools to take the guesswork out of roller operations, and with no setup required, you can be up and running in minutes. When you are ready to move to the next level, the system can be easily upgraded to the Compact Assist or Density Direct packages, letting you track data across the jobsite and measure density in real time.​
