Veta 5.0.51 Released

Veta Software Update

This version fixes issues with importing data.

Download Veta 5.0

Import

  • Fixed: UTM zone was sometimes detected incorrectly.
  • Fixed: Veta downloading of Topcon data. This issue was found during testing and has not been reported in practice. This could happen in two scenarios:
    1. Downloads of Topcon data are occurring in multiple copies of Veta and the date ranges overlap. This can result is the wrong data being used for a project, but should be apparent upon review.
    2. Topcon data is downloaded for a site. Without closing the download window, the site is changed and data is downloaded again. Veta will not download the data for the new site.
  • Change: EPSG codes for all OCRS zones are now recognized. Codes for the new zones did not exist until recently.

Veta 5 Now Available: Enhance IC and PMTP Data Analysis

Veta 5 includes direct data download from the Cloud.

Veta is a free map-based software tool for contractors and highway officials to standardize, display, analyze, and report data collected by intelligent compaction (IC) and paver‐mounted thermal profiling (PMTP) technologies during construction. Veta can import data from various IC machines and PMTP scanners to perform editing, filtering, spot test correlation, and statistical analysis as a post-processing tool.

Veta 5 is the newest, powerful upgrade to the free Veta software.

New features include:

  • Better, faster, and more efficient data imports, including direct downloads from the cloud and a redesigned data import wizard to better handle data from various machines.
  • Redesigned and more powerful filters to handle any type of data extraction.
  • A filter group generator that can produce filter groups based on AASHTO PP81 naming conventions.
  • New features for more flexible data analysis options.
  • A new temperature segregation index (TSI) and new TSI analysis outputs.
  • Versatile PDF reports, including options to choose which items to report and the ability to add a logo and signature line.
  • Performance improvements to better handle huge project files.

View the 5.0 Release Notes to see all the new features and changes.

The new Temperature Segregation Index (TSI) is a composite index with conventional standard deviation and transverse semi-variogram.

The new Temperature Segregation Index (TSI) is a composite index with conventional standard deviation and transverse semi-variogram.

With greater control over construction data, users can perform more detailed analyses and create reports that can help agencies determine contractor pay factors. Construction teams implementing Veta 5 can expect to perform these complex tasks smoothly.

IC and PMTP systems gather a tremendous amount of complex geospatial data that poses challenges for data management, analysis, and reporting. These issues have become the main hurdles during implementation. To address the above issues, The Transtec Group, the Minnesota Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the Transportation Pooled Fund Study, TPF-5(334) aided in the development of Veta.

Veta is required in FHWA and AASHTO PP80-17 and PP81-17 specifications and is increasingly adopted by state highway agencies.

Veta 4.3.28 Released

This version fixes an issue with the Transverse Semivariogram used in the thermal profiling analysis.

Download Veta 4.3

Analysis – Transverse Semivariogram

  • Change: The standard deviation uses a different algorithm and now matches the value in the distribution table.
  • Change: The default TSI specification has been changed. Moderate is now 30 and Severe is 70.
  • Fix: The wrong temperature data was used for each sublot.

Veta 4.3.27 Released

This version fixes a few problems. Most importantly, there was an issue where HAMM data was not always imported correctly. Existing HAMM projects will be reprocessed to correct this.

Download Veta 4.3

Import

  • Fix: HAMM data that was recorded as Vibratory but had no HMV value was marked as Vibratory instead of Static.

Filters

  • Fix: Adding more than one daily lot at a time could cause a crash.

Misc

  • Fix: Could not save extremely large projects.

Veta 4.3.23 Released

This version fixes an issue that caused data filters that used a range (minimum and maximum) to not have an effect. This will change any results that used such a filter. Final coverage will be automatically be reprocessed to correct this.

Download Veta 4.3

Final coverage will be reprocessed.

Filters

  • Fix: Selecting a range of values for an item in a data filter had no effect. For example:
    100 F < Temperature < 200 F

Analysis

  • Fix: Changes to the sublots could cause the software to crash when navigating the analysis.

Veta 4.3.21 Released

This version fixes several bugs affecting importing data files and filter usability. Release notes provided below.

Download Veta 4.3

Existing Volvo projects will be reprocessed.

Import

  • Fix: Some BOMAG files could be imported.
  • Fix: Files using UTM with feet or survey feet were not imported correctly. We will not force a reprocess for this because it the error could be seen on the map during import.
  • Fix: ICMV type was not detected for Volvo final coverage files.
  • Fix: ICMV type was not set to EDV for older Volvo all passes files.

Filters

  • Fix: Using filters could cause a crash.
  • Fix: Various issues with the ability to select filters. Same fixes that were applied to 4.2.37.

Analysis

  • Fix: Switching to the analysis after changing the selected sublots for the (Empty Group) could cause a crash.

Veta 4.2.38 Released

Some of the changes from 4.3 have passed down to 4.2, as that is what most people are using right now. The cold-edge and bracker filter has been revised, as described below. However, this revision does require existing thermal profiling projects to be reprocessed upon open. As always we advise working with a copy of your project file.

Download Veta 4.2

Existing thermal profiling projects will be reprocessed.

Filters

  • Change: The cold-edge filter has been revised again. The revision in 4.2.36 (June 2017), allowed the filter to work with projects containing files containing different numbers of sensors, but yielded less desirable results than previous versions. The filter now gives the same results as the previous versions.
  • Fix: Sometimes the Specific Date input was disabled.

Sublots

  • Fixed: Displayed coordinates and units sometimes did not match the project coordinate system and the distance unit in the Options.

Analysis

  • Fixed: The sublots length for the applied filter group did not update when the sublots were created.

Veta 4.3.17 Released

Despite extensive testing, some bugs slipped through in the last release, mainly with regards to unit conversion. The cold-edge and bracker filter has also been revised, as described below. However, this revision does require existing thermal profiling projects to be reprocessed upon open. As always we advise working with a copy of your project file.

Import

  • Fixed: Some files could not be imported.

Map

  • Change: Search tool minimum radius changed to 1 ft (0.3 m). Default value changed to the same.

Veta 4.3 Released

We are pleased to announce the release of Veta 4.3! All changes are listed in the Release Notes and also provided below.

Download Veta 4.3

Import

  • New: Added support for Volvo soils files.
  • New: Added support for the Oregon Coordinate Reference System

Map

  • New: Search tool to list all data near a selected location.

Analysis

  • Fixed: A given location in the thermal profile would be colored differently depending on the x-axis starting value.
  • New: The semivariogram for thermal profiling has been replaced with a “transverse semivariogram”. The standard semivariogram did not always work well for thermal profiling data, especially when there is large temperature segregation.
  • New: Added a legend for the thermal profile.

Reports

  • New: Added option to choose if sublots should be reported. If not, only the summary will be reported, which can drastically reduce the size and time needed to create reports.
  • Change: File export has been simplified to only export using the selected coodinate system.

Misc

  • Change: Many performance improvements.
  • Change: Location information now lists Northing/Latitude first, followed by Easting/Longitude.
  • Change: Added support for very large projects.
