The objective of this study was to investigate the use of Windows-based software as a cognitive computer tool in undergraduate pavement engineering design courses. Engineering students worked cooperatively on design and analysis tasks. DARWin 3.1 stands for: Design. Current Software DARWin 3.1 is the latest software version of the 1993 AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures Current Contractor Applied Research Associates, Inc. Sunset planned for December 2011 which is 12 months following the expected release of DARWin-ME v2.0.
- Darwin 3.1 pavement design serial numbers, cracks and keygens are presented here. No registration is needed. Just download and enjoy.
- DARWin 3.1 stands for: Design, Analysis and Rehabilitation for windows. Authors felt that using the software may be extremely beneficial to the students' ability to grasp the concepts of pavement design through the software's integration of visual cross-sections.
AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design is available for license to agencies with membership or associate membership in AASHTO and to other entities located in the United States. Each licensee shall designate a primary contact person through whom all support and maintenance will be coordinated with the contractor support team.
Individual Workstation License
The individual workstation license allows only one user to use the software at a time. With this option, the computer operates in standalone mode. An agency can purchase multiple workstation licenses.
| Description | Annual License Fee |
|---|---|
| Individual Workstation | $7,000 |
Site License
A site license is based on the maximum number of concurrent users accessing the program through a single license server in the network. A site license requires a connection to a license server when installing the software.
A site license permits cities/counties, and contractors/consultants employed by the licensing agency access to the product on the Member Department's network.
Note: AASHTO member agencies wishing to exercise this option will be required to register the names and contact information for all contractors/consultants using AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design via their Site License and will be responsible for protecting AASHTO's intellectual property rights to the AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design product by having each contractor execute the Contractor Agreement in the form specified in Appendix A of the Supplemental License Agreement, and providing a copy of the executed Contractor Agreement to AASHTO.

Note: Purchasers of the Site License for up to 20 Concurrent Users will have an option to increase the number of concurrent users for $2,500 each.
Backcalculation Tool
The Pavement ME Deflection Data Analysis and Backcalculation Tool is a standalone software program that can be used to generate backcalculation inputs from Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) files to the AASHTO Pavement ME Design software for rehabilitation design. The tool is capable of analyzing raw deflection data files from three FWD testing devices: Dynatest®, JILS and KUAB. The tool provides three major functions: pre-processing deflection data (including project segmentation), backcalculation, and post-processing of results to generate inputs for Pavement ME rehabilitation design. This tool uses the EVERCALC® algorithm for the iterative backcalculation process.
Although the tool is included with the Pavement ME Design software, it can also be licensed separately and used as a standalone single user application. A training presentation is available at http://me-design.com/MEDesign/Webinars.html.
| Description | Annual License Fee |
|---|---|
| Standalone Single User Backcalculation Tool | $1,250 |
There is no evaluation or educational version for the backcalculation tool.
International License
AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design is available for licensing to entities located outside the United States and that do not have membership in AASHTO. These international entities must license through Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA), ARA can be reached at:

Note: A licensing agreement executed by the institution assuring compliance with the education and training limitation is necessary to exercise the educational license option.
The license agreement is between the institution and AASHTO. Therefore, the educational version of the software is limited to one copy per institution and should be used in a computer lab environment, installed on computers owned by the institution. It should not be installed on individual personal student machines.
If the software is installed on multiple machines, the machines should be ghosted.
