 Improving the Road Treatment Decision-Making Process Through ArcPad Track: Transportation Author(s): Lynne Higgins, Jan-Mark Gustafson, Dave Graham Adding the spatial element to road condition assessment through the use of ArcPad on hand-held computers has been a vital step in improving the decision-making process for road treatments. The City of Saskatoon has moved from defining road condition based on representative sampling to carrying out a more comprehensive "snapshot" of the road that catalogs user-specified road distresses. Despite collecting more data, the process is faster--the manual calculations and data entry of the previous method having been eliminated. The data is ready for use upon download, facilitating on-going refinements to multi-year planned preservation programs. Spatial condition data also enables the treatment decision process to be expanded to include maintenance planning.
