• Description:
  As part of the implementation of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) smoothness initiative, the Profile Viewer and Analyzer (ProVAL) Software was initially developed to provide a means to view and analyze pavement profiles efficiently and robustly. Version 1.0 of the ProVAL software featured a profile data viewer and several common profile data analyses (e.g., Ride Indexes, Power Spectral Density, Butterworth filtering, Profilograph simulation, Rolling straightedge simulation, etc.). It also imported several popular profile data formats, such as ERD1, TxDOT2, and KJ Law3. A new standard profile format (PPF) was also created as a native ProVAL file specification, which proved to be stable, efficient, portable, and upgradeable. The PPF has since been recommended as the basis for the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) draft profile data standard. Workshop material was also developed along with the ProVAL software to provide training in profiling fundamentals and the application of ProVAL.
