FastFWD
Fast Falling Weight Deflectometer
The FastFWD is designed to drop a load pulse to the pavement surface simulating the impact produced by a rolling vehicle wheel. It is 5 times faster per drop than the original FWD.

Save valuable time with the Fast Falling Weight Deflectometer (FastFWD), delivering results five times faster per drop than traditional FWDs. By simulating the impact of a moving vehicle, the FastFWD provides rapid, precise data on pavement conditions, helping you make timely, informed maintenance decisions.
Its advanced load cell and deflection sensors offer detailed insights into how your pavement responds to stress.
With the Dynatest ELMOD software, you can easily back-calculate pavement layer moduli for effective structural evaluations and overlay designs.
This combination of fast testing and accurate analysis helps you detect issues early, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the life of your infrastructure, keeping roads safer for longer.

The new DynaWare24 project will improve the current user interface of the Fast Falling Weight Deflectometer and elevate the electronics, hardware, and software to modern standards. In the future DynaWare24 will also be integrated with the Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD).
Thanks to the DynaWare24 project it will be possible to offer advanced GIS visualization when collecting data and when planning survey routes.
Now, our product roadmap, among several exciting features, includes the integration of cloud-based remote control, support, and data verification.
The DynaWare24 project brings a complete hardware redesign that will be more streamlined. Wirings will be drastically reduced making service and calibration a breeze.
Immediate AI-based inspection of any detected fault of the geophones makes troubleshooting easier and faster.
Data collected from the Dynatest FastFWD can be used to determine the structural capacity of pavements to analyze the physical properties of the road. When analyzing the data from the Dynatest FastFWD with ELMOD software, it is possible to obtain information about the condition of the road such as: surface layers, subgrade layer, layer moduli, layer types, thickness, range of moduli, Poisson’s ratio and bearing capacity.
This information can be used to estimate overlay requirements, remaining life of the pavement, and effective creation of a Pavement Management Plan.
Since the year 1900, Accelerated Pavement Testing (APT) has played a crucial role in fostering innovation and enhancing our understanding of pavements through accelerated testing, and is a valuable tool that can be utilized to predict and validate pavement performance. The possibility of using the FastFWD for Accelerated Pavement Testing (APT) to study pavement deterioration will shorten the gap between the Heavy Vehicle Simulator (HVS) and small-scale laboratory test methods.
The FastFWD (with an APT application package) has proven to be able to be used as an intermediate tool, between small-scale laboratory tests (bending beam, shear, and triaxial tests) and full scale accelerated pavement tests. Several tests have been conducted with great success. Read more about this application in the brochure or application note below.
