Download ProVAL 4.0.63

Analysis: Curling and Warping

• Fix: PSG results were incorrect when the option for “Use SI Units” was changed from checked to unchecked.

Analysis: Ride Quality

• Change: The Fixed-interval analysis was changed to better match the results of ProVAL 3.6. Differences may still occur due to ProVAL 4’s improved accuracy with regards to distance.
• Fix: When using SI units, non-RN overall ride quality values were displayed in m/m instead of m/km.

Reports

• Change: Reports sometimes cannot be created because the profile or section names contain text that is not allowed by Windows. ProVAL will now attempt to remove problem text. When this happens, a timecode will be appended to the file name to ensure the file name is unique.
• Improved feedback of problems that prevent saving a report file.

Miscellaneous

• Fix: Project files were sometimes saved with the wrong permissions, causing the files to not be openable on other computers.
• Fix: Adding files to a project would take progressively longer each time during a session.
• Stability improvements.

Analysis: Ride Quality

• Fix: Fixed interal for HRI and IRI was showing HRI for the value of the right IRI.
• Fix: Fixed interal for MRI and IRI was showing MRI for the value of the right IRI.
• Fix: The fixed interval chart could not be copied, saved, or printed.

Analysis: Smoothness Assurance

• Fix: Rolling straightedge comparison did not work.

Miscellaneous

• Using the profile selection buttons in the toolbar (left, center, right, all) will no longer apply the analysis filter template if a profile was already selected.
• Stability improvements.

File Import

• Fix: When applicable, Sections were missing coordinates when imported from PPF files and previous ProVAL projects. For any projects saved with 4.0, the routes will need to be re-applied for coordinates to be assigned to Sections.
• Fix: The File Import Wizard did not work well for very short profiles.

Editor

• Fix: Exporting a section that could not be saved due to invalid text in the resulting file name caused a crash. A warning will now be shown.

Analysis: Ride Quality

• Fix: Changing the input values might not clear the results and enable the Analyze button.

Miscellaneous

• Fix: ProVAL did not always close after an error occurred.
• Performance improvements.
• Stability improvements.

We are excited to announce the release of ProVAL 4.0 (longitudinal profile viewing and analysis) and Clarity 1.0 (transverse profile viewing and analysis). Check out our website (https://www.roadprofile.com/) for further details. We’ll also conduct a ProVAL 4.0 workshop during the RPUG 2024 conference in St. Augustine, FL, USA, on May 2nd (https://rpug.org/meetings/rpug-2024-conference/).

This update fixes the validation of section locations.

Download ProVAL 3.61.54

Editor

• Fix: Corrected validation of section locations. Note that full validation is not yet provided when directly editing coordinates.

Various fixes and changes. The installation is signed with a new security certificate. It is possible that Windows will show a warning during the next few weeks because this is a new certificate that has not been seen often. The installation from the Microsoft Store is unaffected.
