Veta is a map-based tool for viewing and analyzing geospatial data.
Veta can import data from various intelligent compaction (IC) machines, paver-mounted thermal profilers (PMTP), and dielectric profile systems (DPS) to perform viewing, filtering, sublotting, spot test imports, and analysis. Veta displays compaction information in easy-to-read formats, including graphs and maps. A brief introduction is available.

Hardware Requirements
General Guidance
- A faster is CPU is more likely to yield higher performance than more cores.
- An SSD is strongly recommended due to the quantity of data Veta processes.
- Plan for a Veta project to expand by at least 10x. For example, a 1 GB project may expand to 10 GB after opening, filtering, and analyzing.
- While Veta is not as memory-intensive now, more RAM may help if other applications are also open.
Minimum
- CPU: Intel Core i5 (8th generation) or similar x64
- RAM: 8 GB
Recommended
- CPU: Intel Core i5 (12th generation) or similar x64

The Desktop App Installer is required to install MSIX packages. The Microsoft Visual C++ UWP Desktop Runtime Package is required. If this is not installed, Windows will attempt to download it during the installation. If this is not possible, winget can be used to download and install the package. The id for the package is “Microsoft.VCLibs.Desktop.14”.
The installation itself does not require administrative privileges, but it is possible that a computer’s security policy is configured to not allow the installation. If this happens, please contact the person(s) responsible for managing your computer.
Please Help Campaign to Keep Veta funded by TPF
Veta is free to download, but not free to enhance and maintain. The development of Veta has been funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), the Transportation Pooled Fund Study, TPF-5(334) Enhancement to the Intelligent Construction Data Management System (Veta) and Implementation, and Transportation Pooled Fund TPF-5(466) “National Road Research Alliance – NRRA (Phase-II). Please contact your local DOT research department and ask them to join the Transportation Pooled Fund TPF-5(466) “National Road Research Alliance – NRRA (Phase-II) to keep Veta available and free to download!
Veta in Specifications
Veta is required in the Federal Highway Administration’s generic IC specifications and AASHTO IC Specifications for soils, and asphalt materials. Veta is also increasingly adopted by US Departments of Transportation. See the IC specifications page for further details.
