9.2.3.3: Provide Maintenance Decision Support

This process shall provide decision support to the maintenance and construction center personnel and maintenance and construction field personnel. This process shall tailor external information for the decision maker. Some of the external information used could be weather or road condition observations, forecasted weather information or road conditions, current usage of treatments and materials, available resources, equipment and vehicle availability, road network information, and source reliability information. The tailoring of information may include filtering (selection from a large amount of external information), error reduction ('smoothing' the information), fusion (combination of disparate information to match the decision needs), analysis (creating the decision), and information presentation to the operator. The center or field personnel shall be able to input control parameters for the decision support process. The center or field personnel shall be able to interactively provide inputs and receive decisions or information presentation. The maintenance decision recommendations shall be distributed to other processes within the Determine M&C Needs function.
