Consecutive blue and green backgrounds indicate slides belong to the same feature type

Grid Export to ExcelAdded option to include Section Unique Id and other hidden columns (when available)

in the Excel Export. This modification also allows for the export of larger grid sizes

Family Modeling – Nominated Critical PCIAdded Nominated Critical PCI based on PCI Family Model Inflection Point. Valid only for Third Degree

Polynomial (4 Coefficients) or higher. It is Possible that a High Degree Model may have two Inflection Points.

Family Modeling – Construction Inspection PointsAdded the ability to include a PCI = 100 at age 0 for each pavement section in the model

that reflects condition at construction

Graph Points Identification - Family ModelingClicking a point in the graph will identify the corresponding pavement section in the

Review Model Data table as well as any open Map or Report

Graph Points Identification - Work Planning (Consequence Analysis -> Policy Unit Cost View)

Clicking a point in the graph will identify the corresponding pavement section in the Policy Unit Cost table as well as any open map

GPS DeviceThe Device Location Window display has been improved. The Horizontal Accuracy

will improve when a GPS Device is connected to the computer or tablet.

GPS DeviceGPS Device Configuration Option “location from operating system” - (recommended)

Users can choose to triangulate GPS location from the operating system (OS), or from an external GPS device connected to the COM port of a local machine (option 2).

Note: If you are working on a tablet computer that you are exclusively using in the field, you may want to enable the “Turn on computer GPS location on program start” setting in Preferences > PAVER Defaults > GIS Settings menu. This will enable location from the operating system whenever PAVER™ is started. This mode will not ask for permission and will fail if the Windows Location is not already granted.

If the correct drivers are installed for your GPS device, this is the best mode to use. No configuration is required, and this option works in both 32 and 64-bit modes. When “Use location from operating system” has been selected, Windows will ask for permission to use your location information—if it doesn’t already have permission. Permission must be granted, in order for your location to be reported. When this option is enabled, a “horizontal accuracy” reading populates. If the number in this field is 75+ meters, your GPS device probably isn’t reporting location yet. After the GPS device locks on to satellites and starts reporting location, the accuracy radius will decrease, giving you a more accurate lock on your position. Operating system-level configuration of this setting can be viewed by searching for “Location privacy settings” in the control panel.

GPS DeviceGPS Device Configuration Option 2

If, for whatever reason, your GPS device does not communicate with the operating system, you can use the “GPS Device connected to COM port” option. This option can only be used in 32-bit mode. Additionally, you may have to enter the COM port and Baud rate manually.

GPS LocationTo tag GPS location to collected field data, make sure that the GPS location is enabled as shown in this slide.

This feature should be disabled if the distress data entry is done in the office.

Inventory DefinitionThe “From” and “To” fields are no longer mandatory when creating a

New Section.

Edit InspectionAdded ability to use multiplication and addition when entering data in the Edit

Inspection form. Multiplication is the first order of operation.

GIS Reports – Added ViewsAdded three views to show the latest Work Types – see “1”. Also added the ability to overlay work dates – see “2”

GIS Display – Hide BalloonAdded a feature where the balloon can be hidden with a new “Hide Sel” button

Project Formulation – The “Predict PCI” field has been added to the “Project Sections” tab.

Pressing F1 on any of the main PAVER function windows will open the User Guide to the corresponding topic.

Press F1 here will open the user guide

Improved Surface CalculationSurface calculations were improved to address conflicting Work History data and to correctly calculate surface changes when the initial section

surface definition is “Unsurfaced” – In the Example below, New Construction AC and PCC were entered on the same day!

Database Verification ToolsAdded a capability to delete 1/1/1900 Major M&R provided there is another Major M&R recorded

and no inspections will be left orphan

Security - Changes were made to support more secure Cryptography requirements.

• Changed password tokens to a more secure format. In multi-user mode, users will have to type in their password after upgrading to 7.0.10a. During this upgrade, the old password is removed.

• If you decide to downgrade to 7.0.10 or earlier, you must have your administrator reset PAVER user passwords.During a downgrade, user accounts will be “non-password protected.”

Additional 7.0.11Changes:

• Improved the round-off of distress % area for inspection area measured distresses.

• Improved formula for calculating total number of slabs and Joint length to account for section area adjustment.

• Increased the number of stored digits when creating new User Defined fields using Real Number.

• Removed the Window minimize and Maximize buttons when installing PAVER on the Cloud to avoid user confusion.

• Database Import function has been updated to automatically repair data that is not supported by SQL. This can happen in older databases created in Access where some functions are allowed in Access but not SQL.

Corrected Issues• The last opened database doesn’t automatically open when PAVER is

opened.

• Inspection Form – Sample distresses: distresses with no severity levels such as concrete “Shrinkage Cracking” will show “N/A” for severity instead of “Low”.

• Corrected an error associated with the import of Inventory Sample Units using Excel

• Error when replacing networks during database combine function.
