In the Project Planning module, the results of the network analyses as well as inspector work candidates are used to generate projects. Projects consist of specific work items on one or more bridges. Programs are developed from groups of projects for a specified period of time and types of work. The module includes a tool for running a single bridge simulation to evaluate the impact of a proposed set of actions before committing to a project. Projects are assigned to programs, for example, Statewide Maintenance, Interstate Maintenance or the Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program. Once a program has been developed, the network analysis can be rerun to further refine results. |
