• From / To termini, • Segment length in ft and miles, • Heavy vehicles included in the analysis, • Percent life consumed, • Cost of percent life consumed, • Additional asphalt thickness required, • Cost of additional asphalt thickness, • Plot containing predicted ESALs and pavement condition index curves, both with and without additional heavy vehicles, and • Date the analysis was completed. The Network sheet reports the following information, which is similar but combined much of the data at the network level rather than for the individual segment. • Analysis Name (given by the user), • Number of segments analyzed in the network, • Total number of segments contained in the network database, • Heavy vehicles included in the analysis, • Average percent life consumed, • Total network cost of consumed life, • Average additional asphalt thickness required, • Total network cost of additional asphalt thickness, • Plots containing network distribution of Pavement Condition Index with and without additional heavy vehicles after 5 and 10 years, • Plots containing distribution of original pavement life consumed and additional bituminous thickness required. • Date the analysis was completed. Sample reports for the Segment and Network analyses are shown in Figures 19 and 22, respectively. These sheets may be printed directly (the print area and other printing options are preset). Interpretation of Results As described in the previous sections, the analysis estimates the impact of heavy vehicles on pavement structures including accelerated degradation, cost to accommodate the additional vehicles, and additional bituminous materials that would have been needed at design time to provide an adequate structure. The results of the analysis are provided in the report sheets within the tool. These results are described in more detail in this section. Segment Analysis Figures 17 and 18 in the next chapter show an example of the output for the segment analysis, produced in the user screen. As mentioned before, Figure 19 shows what is printed, which includes all the information from the user screens. Figure 3 shows a different example of the results plot from the segment analysis. In this plot, the predicted ESALs are shown in the vertical axis on the right side, and the predicted PCI values, or pavement degradation, are shown 0%
