ProVAL (PROfile Viewing and AnaLysis) is an engineering software program that allows users to view and analyze pavement profiles in many different ways. It is easy to use and powerful enough to perform many kinds of profile analyses. Highway agencies use it to ensure pavements are smooth, which results in longer service life and a more comfortable ride for the public. Contractors use ProVAL to optimize their construction operations to produce smooth pavements for minimum cost.
ProVAL is used by nearly all state highway agencies and thousands of industry stakeholders worldwide. It has become the most popular pavement profile software in the world. Originally developed by The Transtec Group for the Federal Highway Administration and the Long Term Pavement Performance Program, ProVAL is available for free at our project site.
