Compact Assist

Achieve optimum compaction results for asphalt and soil, with less effort, thanks to Compact Assist. By providing real-time data on compaction metrics, Compact Assist helps operators achieve optimal compaction faster, reducing material use, saving fuel, and improving the overall quality of the worksite.

Increase site efficiency

By providing clear, actionable data, operators reduce unnecessary passes, finishing the job faster, saving fuel, and minimizing machine wear.

Real-time compaction data

Provides real-time compaction data, showing operators how many passes are needed to reach optimal levels, reducing wasted time and materials.

Achieve uniform compaction

Ensures even, consistent compaction across the entire area, improving quality and reducing the risk of weak spots in the pavement or soil.

Compact Assist Asphalt

A clear view of the job

Compact Assist, powered by the Volvo Co‑Pilot, makes your life easier. Simply tap, zoom and select – just as you would on your mobile tablet or smartphone – to switch screens and review the job in progress.

The intuitive system is designed with simplicity in mind, giving you a clear snapshot of the job and letting you smoothly move between screens with a single tap.

Key tools for asphalt compactors

Pass mapping

Just a quick glance at the pass mapping screen gives operators a clear view of their stop points and overlaps. Pass mapping guides operators through a uniform rolling pattern, without over or under compaction, so they can quickly and efficiently make adjustments to ensure they never miss a spot.

Temperature mapping

Ensure compaction is completed at the optimum pavement temperature. A color-coded map of surface temperatures and the ability to set the maximum/minimum range enables the operator to easily avoid rolling with a mix temperature that is too hot or too cold.

Density Direct

Accurately measure the quality of the pavement while you work, with Density Direct. Volvo’s patented solution provides a real-time estimate of the material density percentage and maps the entire job.

Setup for success

Compact Assist Start Package

Take your first steps towards improving the quality of your work with the Compact Assist Start package. Start utilizes straightforward tools to take the guesswork out of roller operations, and with no setup required, you can be up and running in minutes.

Compact Assist and Density Direct packages

When you are ready to move to the next level, the system can be easily upgraded to the Compact Assist or Density Direct packages, letting you track data across the jobsite and measure density in real time.

Compact Assist Soil

Map your progress

Visualize the whole job and keep track of where you have compacted. With Pass Mapping, you can easily see where you have already been and where compaction is still required, saving time and preventing unnecessary rework. Adding jobsite CAD data to the screen provides the operator with an additional layer of guidance.

See beneath the surface

Whether identifying a soil mixture that is too wet, or any buried infrastructure, Compaction Measurement Value (CMV) Mapping provides a complete image of the load bearing strength of the jobsite.
This helps operators to identify areas which require additional compaction or further investigation, ensuring the job is completed to the highest standards.

Compact Assist Family for Soil Compactors

Packages to fit your needs

From simple compaction measurements, right through to complete tracking of both the coverage and compaction of the material, Compact Assist for Volvo Soil Compactors comes available in a number of packages to match the needs of your business.

Take your first steps towards improving the quality of your work with the Lite package. It integrates a simple compaction gauge and rearview camera within the Volvo Co-Pilot monitor, allowing the operator to track the progress of current and recently completed compaction, and giving them a clear view behind the machine. Upgrading to Start or Compact Assist in the future is easy.

This package includes the functionality of Lite, plus the ability to see completed work across the entire jobsite with pass mapping and Compaction Measurement Value (CMV) Mapping.

This package includes all the functionality of Start, plus high accuracy location and data recording. It enables the creation of reports on the finished job and provides access to extensive detail on the performance of the roller, without the need for any post processing.
