    Topcon Positioning Systems has expanded it road construction product lineup, including improvements for road surface scanning, expanded aftermarket solutions for pavers, and a new solution for soil compactors and asphalt rollers.

    The MC-Max Paving aftermarket solution is designed to control screed height, width, and steering for integrated pavers. It has been expanded to a brand-generic aftermarket solution to control screed height on all major asphalt paver brands. The solution is built on the MC-X machine control platform.

    A new roller-management system ensures consistent, high-quality pavement and base layers by leveraging real-time data and automation to optimize the compaction process, reduce rework, and meet project specifications efficiently. It is equipped with a wireless Android display, and positioning sensors can be interchanged between GPS and robotic total station-based systems.

    A new version of the mobile LiDAR scanner—the RD-M2—is available. The scanner is part of SmoothRide, which is designed to minimize road closures, shorten planning times, and optimize processes when evaluating road surfaces. The scanner utilizes an integrated GNSS receiver, and the new version includes the ability to track more satellite constellations for added accuracy and options on the job site.
