Treatments

Treatment Library provides the system with details of all the treatments that can be used when undertaking maintenance of the pavement and enables these to be selected when undertaking analyses. Treatments are used in all analyses, along with decision trees, to provide details of the treatment type and costs of recommended future projects as well as the condition consequences of these projects. 

The Treatments window has 3 panes of information/settings: Treatments, Improvements, and Other Improvements.

Treatments pane - lists all treatments used for long-term projects and the costs associated with each.

Improvement pane - After the treatment selected in the Treatments pane is applied, the condition attributes listed in the Improvements pane will change according to the rules configured in this pane.

Other Improvement - After the treatment selected in the Treatments pane is applied, the non-PI-based attributes listed in the Other Improvements pane will change according to the rules configured in this pane.
