Paver FieldInspector is a new 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.

The FieldInspector:

• can utilize previously inspected sample units to perform the inspection or can add/delete/edit sample units
• provides immediate PCI calculation and display in real time
• displays and stores graphics of individual concrete panels/slabs to record distresses
• uses significant data entry validation tools
• generates an error-free XML file for import into PAVER.
  
  NOTE: Operates on tablet computers with a Windows operation system. At this time FieldInspector cannot be used with an iPad. The program is compatible with PAVER 6.5.5 and beyond.
  
  Purchasing FieldInspector entitles the user to one install which can be removed and reinstalled on different computers. If more than one install is needed, please contact APWA (paver@apwa.net).
