AVER™ -- The Pavement Maintenance Management System -- originally was developed in the late 1970s to help the Department of Defense (DOD) manage M&R for its vast inventory of pavements. It uses inspection data and a pavement condition index (PCI™) rating from zero (failed) to 100 (excellent) for consistently describing a pavement's condition and for predicting its M&R needs many years into the future. CERL developed the procedures for measuring the condition of pavements, resulting in the Pavement Condition Index and the accompanying PAVER management software. The PCI™ for airports became an ASTM standard in 1993 (D5340-11). The PCI™ for roads and parking lots became an ASTM standard in 1999 (D6433-11). The ASTM standard can be ordered from the ASTM website. The PAVER program performs multiple levels of analysis to show where to best allocate scarce M&R dollars.
Purchasing PAVER 7.1 entitles the user to two installs per serial number. Each install can only be removed once and reinstalled on a different computer. Deactivation can only be done from the PAVER program on the machine you are removing it from before uninstalling the PAVER program.
