Every MicroPAVER user knows that the success of your pavement management program depends on the reliability of the data you input into the system.
PAVER FieldInspector™ is a PAVER™ companion software that takes advantage of GIS/GPS state of the art technology as well as innovative graphics to facilitate pavement inspection using handheld computer tablets. The program allows the user to identify his location on a geo-referenced pavement network map displayed on his/her tablet computer for immediate entry of pavement distress data.
The program has wide applications especially for agencies with more than one evaluation team where each team is assigned to inspect different parts of the pavement and the data are later imported into the main copy of PAVER.
This program covers:
· What you need to know to be an effective inspector
· Sampling: why and how
· Identification of distresses
· Various inspection techniques: PCI video, project level, network level
After viewing this program, participants will be better able to:
· Explain how FieldInspector could be integrated into their agency’s pavement management plan
· Determine what data is the most valuable
· Utilize the tools in the software
