PaveCool has been developed to assist asphalt contractors, inspectors and engineers to make rapid decisions regarding cool-weather paving. A heat flow model is used to compute the temperature drop in the mat and the time it takes for the asphalt mix to cool from it's delivery temperature to the recommended stopping temperature.
Slope Calculation Tool
Calculate all aspects of a ramp's dimensions, including slope, run, length, and rise. It can also measure the slope of existing surfaces using your device's sensors. Supports various input combinations for flexible calculations.
- Calculate slope, run, length, and rise
- Supports multiple input combinations
- Measure existing surface slopes
- Uses device sensors for measurement
- Calculates slope as percentage, ratio, and angle

With any (two inputs), the app will calculate all of ramp's information accurately: - Slope (incline). - Run (horizontal travel). - Ramp Length. - Rise (Height). - Slope (Percentage, Ratio & Angle). Possible scenarios of calculation: by adding any of the following inputs, the app shall calculates the rest: - Run & Rise. - Run & Length. - Rise & Length. - (Slope percentage, Slope Ratio or Slope Angle) with any of (Rise, Length or Run). The App has a built-in tool to measure the slope of an existing ramp or a surface, by using the capabilities of your iPhone / iPad device. * Remember to use a proper protection case though, to prevent your device from scratches and to give it a perfect flat shape, for better accuracy.
