MOBA proudly presenting “Intelligent Paving Systems” at the 12th Malaysian Road Conference

The Malaysian Road Conference & Exhibition has been an important event in road engineering since its inception in 1994. Held every two years, it provides a vital platform for professionals, experts, and stakeholders to meet, exchange knowledge, and explore developments in road infrastructure.

The biennial schedule ensures regular gatherings of experts, researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders, allowing for continuous discussion on emerging trends, challenges, and innovative solutions in road engineering.

The conference is organized by the respected Road Engineering Association of Malaysia (REAM), a leading body in road engineering. REAM plays a crucial role in fostering collaboration, sharing expertise, and advancing road infrastructure standards in Malaysia.

The central theme of the 12th Malaysian Road Conference & Exhibition 2024 is "Driving Innovation for Better Roads." This theme highlights the commitment to using innovation as a key force to enhance the quality, safety, and sustainability of road infrastructure.

With strong emphasis on innovation, the conference seeks to inspire attendees to actively contribute to the ongoing development of road networks. By promoting progress and prioritizing sustainable practices, the event plays an essential role in shaping the future of road engineering.

MOBA AG had the honors to present at the event with the Paper “Intelligent Paving system” introducing their three main paving system to ensure documented optimum road quality and durability by reducing costs and increasing safety.

Special Thanks to MH Road Builders -MH Roadbuilder is the official MOBA dealer in Malaysia supporting the local MOBA market developement and driving paving innovations forward.

Below you may find a summery about the Intelligent paving system from MOBA presented at the show.

The Super Ski is a high-precision levelling system used in asphalt pavers to ensure smooth and accurate asphalt laying. The key benefits of MOBA's Super Ski can be summarized below:

1. Precision Levelling: The Super Ski system provides precise control over the paving process, ensuring the asphalt surface is level and smooth. This is critical for creating a high-quality, durable road surface.
2. Improved Paving Quality: By using advanced sensors and real-time feedback, the system helps achieve uniform asphalt smoothness and thus most optimum IRI readings
3. Increased Efficiency: The system automates the levelling process, reducing the need for manual adjustments and operator intervention. This increases paving efficiency, saves time, and allows for more consistent results.
4. Reduced Material Waste: By ensuring the correct thickness of the asphalt layer, the Super Ski system helps optimize material usage, reducing waste and improving cost efficiency.
5. Enhanced Productivity: The system speeds up the paving process by allowing for continuous and uniform material application without the need for frequent corrections, helping increase the productivity of the paving crew.
6. Cost Savings: With more accurate asphalt application, there is less chance of over-paving or under-paving, which can lead to costly repairs or rework. This reduces both material costs and the need for future maintenance.
7. Adaptability: The system is adaptable to different paving conditions and projects, whether it’s for highways, urban roads, or other infrastructure projects. It ensures optimal results regardless of the project scale or complexity.
8. Long-Term Durability: The precise levelling and smooth surface achieved by the Super Ski system contribute to the longevity of the paved surface, reducing wear and tear and improving the overall performance of the roadway.

In summary, MOBA’s Super Ski levelling system for asphalt pavers ensures high-quality, precise, and efficient asphalt paving, leading to cost savings, reduced material waste, and smoother, more durable and safer road surfaces.

The Pave IR system from MOBA is an infrared & camera -based technology used for real-time temperature monitoring during asphalt paving. Here are the key benefits:

1. Improved Paving Quality: The system provides real-time temperature data, helping to ensure uniform asphalt temperature distribution and preventing cold spots, which can lead to weaker surfaces.
2. Enhanced Quality Control: Continuous temperature monitoring allows for better quality control, ensuring that the asphalt is compacted at the correct temperature for optimal performance and longevity.
3. Reduced Risk of Defects: By identifying temperature inconsistencies during paving, the system helps reduce the risk of defects such as cracks or poor bonding in the asphalt.
4. Increased Efficiency: The Pave IR system allows operators to make real-time adjustments to the paving process, improving efficiency and reducing the need for rework or repairs.
5. Cost Savings: By preventing temperature-related issues and ensuring consistent compaction, the system helps avoid costly mistakes and reduces material waste, leading to overall cost savings.
6. Documentation and Reporting: The system records temperature data, providing a detailed log for quality assurance, project documentation, and future analysis.
7. Improved Operator Awareness: Operators gain better insight into the paving process, enabling them to make informed decisions and adjustments to optimize the results.

In summary, the Pave IR system enhances asphalt paving quality, reduces defects of thermal segregation, increases efficiency, and helps save costs, all while providing valuable data for long-term project monitoring and quality assurance.

The MCA 3000 is a holistic compaction system from MOBA, designed to optimize compaction works.

The key benefits of the MCA 3000 system can be summarized below:

1. Optimal Compaction Control: The MCA 3000 system provides real-time monitoring of the compaction process, ensuring that the asphalt is compacted to the correct density for long-lasting performance and durability.

2. Increased Paving Quality: By offering precise control over the compaction process, the system helps to reduce the risk of defects resulting from under or over compaction and thus ensuring a high-quality finished product.

3. Improved Efficiency: The system automates and simplifies the compaction process by providing feedback to operators on areas that need more attention, reducing the need for rework and speeding up the overall paving process.

4. Cost Savings: With better compaction and reduced risk of defects, the MCA 3000 reduces the need for costly repairs or resurfacing, helping save on materials and labor costs in the long run.

5. Enhanced Productivity: By ensuring uniform and optimal compaction, the system minimizes the need for multiple passes or rework, allowing contractors to complete projects faster and more efficiently.

6. Data Logging and Documentation: The MCA 3000 records data during the compaction process, providing detailed documentation for quality assurance, project tracking, and regulatory compliance.

7. Improved Operator Awareness: The system offers real-time feedback to operators, guiding them on where to adjust compaction levels, increasing awareness, and helping ensure the best results without guesswork.

8. Reduced Material Waste: With proper compaction, the system ensures that the asphalt is used effectively, preventing over-compaction and material waste.

9. Durability and Reliability: Built for harsh construction environments, the MCA 3000 system is designed to withstand tough conditions, providing reliable performance throughout the compaction process

In summary, the MCA 3000 Compaction Control System from MOBA enhances asphalt compaction quality, reduces the risk of defects, saves time and costs, and improves overall productivity by providing precise, real-time compaction data and feedback. It also contributes to the longevity and sustainability of the pavement, ensuring the road surface is well-compacted and durable.
