ProVAL Data Spec is an ASTM International Standard
The ASTM International standard for profile data specification, based on the ProVAL PPF spec 1.02, has been published in the ASTM annual book since 2008.
This ASTM spec is designated as “E 2560-07 Standard Specification for Data Format for Pavement Profile”. There are lots of advantages associated with adopting these specifications — including more efficient data exchange.
If you implement a program to generate PPF data files, you can use ProVAL to validate your implementation.
