• Abstract:
  Dividing roads into "homogeneous" segments has been a major problem for all areas of highway engineering. SDDOT uses Deighton Associates Limited software, dTIMS, to analyze life-cycle costs for various rehabilitation strategies on each segment of road in its network. Unfortunately, dTIMS makes the "optimal" strategy selection for each segment independent of the segment's location, length, or adjacent segment status Often these segments are of insufficient length as a stand alone project. To combine these segments requires Planning and Programming staff to manually combine segments so that viable construction projects can be proposed. The objective of this project was to define rules for consolidating segments and to automate those methods in the dTIMS software.
