R01 Design Summary

A comparison of the optimal designs for different alternatives is shown in the figure below. These designs can then be further evaluated in LCCA for cost effectiveness and LCA for sustainability.

Note that this example only covers the design for one single segment within this project. As mentioned in Typical Design Process, one needs to evaluate all segments within the project and decide whether to use a single design or multiple designs.

Note: CalME removes simulation results periodically. It is recommended to generate and download the simulation reports for the optimal designs. See Step 5 in Example for New Pavement Design for how to generate and download reports.
