NaviPlan vs. PAVER Comparison Chart

PAVER is a pavement maintenance management system developed in the late 1970s to assist the Department of Defense (DOD) in managing maintenance and repair for its extensive pavement inventory. It utilizes inspection data and a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) rating, ranging from zero (failed) to 100 (excellent), to consistently describe pavement conditions and predict future M&R needs. The PCI for airports became an ASTM standard in 1993 (D5340-10), and for roads and parking lots in 1999 (D6433-09). PAVER™ performs multiple levels of analysis to optimize the allocation of M&R resources. Its development has been supported by entities such as the US Air Force, US Army, US Navy, Federal Aviation Administration, and Federal Highway Administration. Non-DOD users benefit from training and technology support services provided by Colorado State University. When inspecting concrete pavement, the program allows the user to generate graphics of the individual concrete panels.
