Maintenance and Rehabilitation (M&R)  Planning

The following controls, located on the Input -> Simulation Parameters Page, are used to specify M&R details associated with the Mechanistic-Empirical simulation.

** This feature is currently under development so it is not enabled **.

These controls allow you to specify a maintenance strategy that contains treatments to be applied at specific dates in the future. CalME has two strategies you can select from, as shown below:

•60 mm HMA Overlay Every 5 years

•Mill and Fill 60 mm Every 10 years

Selecting the "Populate Grid With:" will generate the selected strategy into the grid.

You can also build a specific strategy by selecting the "Add Treatment" button, entering the year for the treatment and selecting the kind of treatment. You can also delete a treatment by selecting the "Delete" button for the row (year) you want to delete. Selecting the "Edit" button allows you edit the data in the row (year).

Clicking on the treatment link will bring up the "Edit Treatment" form in which you can make changes to the treatment.  This allows you to customize the built-in treatment details with your custom version for a specific year.

The question mark in the blue circle in the upper-right of the control group allows you to get help on the controls (this topic).
