Accelerated pavement testing

The one third scale model mobile load simulator, Pave®MLS11 is an accelerated pavement testing device which applies single direction rolling wheel contact stresses to pavement sections in the lab or field. A key feature of the Pave®MLS11 is the very high number of axle loads it applies in a given time period. This accelerates test throughput.
