Software development for aeronautical pavements

In addition to the guides and technical information notes, the STAC is sometimes led to develop or have developed software solutions enabling the implementation of methodologies recommended for the design, auscultation and monitoring of aeronautical pavements.

The Application Chaussées Aeronautiques  is a web application that replaces the old software packages ISv2, DCA and WINFICAV.

The Alizé-Aéronautique programme is used for the dimensioning of flexible aeronautical pavements according to rational methods. It is distributed by the company ITECH and can be acquired as an additional module to the ALIZE-LCPC software or as a stand-alone module for specific aeronautical use.

The Prediware software, currently used for research purposes, enables auscultations of aeronautical pavements to be used using the Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD), in order to determine the residual bearing capacity and estimate a Pavement Classification Number (PCN).
