Rut Resets

Overview

Parameters related to Rut Resets for different treatments are held in lookup sets ‘reset_exceed_thresh_rut’, ‘reset_perc_improv_facts_rut’ and ‘rehab_resets_rut’. Factors defined in these lookup sets are explained at this page.

Lookup Set Keys

The keys to identify the sets in the Rut Reset model are ‘reset_exceed_thresh_rut’, ‘reset_perc_improv_facts_rut’ and ‘rehab_resets_rut’ (case-sensitive).

Change Level

Parameters held under the above lookup sets generally do NOT need to be modified for each network. You should only consider modifying the default factors if your network requires a more or less severe reset for rutting based on available historical evidence.

Lookup Parameters

Parameters contained in this lookup set are detailed below. Note that parameter keys are case-sensitive.

lookup_set_name setting_key setting_value comment
reset_exceed_thresh_rut preserve 5.0 Exceedance Value - if rut before treatment is below this, it remains unchanged - Preservation
reset_perc_improv_facts_rut preserve 0.5 Rut above exceedance value is reduced by this factor - Preservation
reset_exceed_thresh_rut holding_or_repairs 7.0 Exceedance Value - if rut before treatment is below this, it remains unchanged - Holding Actions and Repairs
reset_perc_improv_facts_rut holding_or_repairs 0.7 Rut above exceedance value is reduced by this factor - Holding Actions and Repairs
rehab_resets_rut all_cats 4.0 Rut reset applied when Rehabilitation is performed
