Road Class Mapping

Overview

Parameters held in under the road_class lookup set define the conversion of an ONRC Road Category to a High (‘H’), Medium (‘M’) or Low (‘L’) road traffic class. This assigned traffic class is then used in various downstream lookups - for example, to determine which Rehabilitation treatment should be considered for a specific element.

Lookup Set Key

The key to identify this set in the model code is ‘road_class’ (case-sensitive)

Change Level

Parameters held under the road_class lookup set generally do NOT need to be modified for each network.

Lookup Parameters

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