9.2 - Manage Roadway M&C Activities DFD
This DFD shows the eight functions that provide the Manage Roadway M&C Activities facility within the Manage Maintenance and Construction function. This facility includes determination of maintenance and construction needs, scheduling assets to address those needs, and collecting work activity status.The key points about the facility are as follows:
- Equipment repair, winter maintenance, and routine roadway maintenance needs are determined;
- Resource needs from other agencies are collected and resolved;
- Disaster response and evacuation plans are coordinated with Emergency Management;
- Maintenance Decision Support system makes maintenance recommendations based on current weather, needs, and resources available with parameter input from center personnel;
- Schedules for roadway maintenance are generated and shared with other agencies;
- Roadway maintenance status is collected and shared with other agencies and the function that schedules maintenance and construction activities;
- Map data is used to assist in tracking resources, provide routing recommendations, and monitoring work activities;
- Materials usage and storage is tracked;
- Data is archived to assist in tracking transportation infrastructure health and determining repair needs, monitoring work activity performance, and analyzing trends;
- An automated roadway treatment system operates based on environmental sensors and control parameters from a center.
There are eight processes in this DFD, and two are themselves DFDs:
a) Schedule M&C Activities (9.2.1)
b) Status Current M&C Activities and Transportation Infrastructure (9.2.2)
c) Determine M&C Needs (DFD 9.2.3)
d) Manage M&C Map Data (9.2.4)
e) Provide M&C Center Personnel Interface for Maint (9.2.5)
f) Manage Infrastructure Monitoring and Treatment Systems (DFD 9.2.6)
g) Manage M&C Archive Data (9.2.7)
h) Manage M&C Materials (9.2.8)
The processes (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and (h) in this group determine maintenance needs, schedule work activities to address them, and track the status of those activities and the resources required to complete them. Process (f) is somewhat different in that it automatically determines when roadway treatment should be applied based on roadway sensors, and therefore operates rather independently. Process (g) serves only as a storage point for maintenance and construction data and therefore could be modified to collect only that data required by the implementation.
