The
Airport Pavement
Structural Design System (APSDS) is a computer software package with
the capability to make even the most complex design project simpler,
surer, more cost-effective and faster than has ever been possible
with any other design system.
APSDS is a high technology tool which enhances competitiveness, increases the speed of analyses, reduces costs and brings new efficiencies to the complex and demanding task of airport pavement design, construction and maintenance.
One of the unique features of APSDS is that it takes rational account of aircraft wander. This is the statistical variation of the paths taken by successive aircraft relative to runway or taxiway centrelines, or to the lead-in lines to parking positions. Increased wander reduces pavement damage by different amounts that depend upon pavement thickness. This could lead to significant savings in construction costs.
An enhanced package, HIPAVE (Heavy Industrial PAVEment design) has been developed for the mechanistic analysis and design of flexible pavements subjected to the extremely heavy wheel loads associated with freight handling vehicles in industrial facilities, in particular, intermodal container terminals. It is designed to conveniently model each combination of vehicle model and container load and to combine the damage using the Cumulative Damage Factor concept.
