FY25 PMED Q2 Enhancements

December 12, 2024

The development team has been hard at work this past quarter and have completed several major feature updates to the PMED software. Check out the latest release (v3.24.1) at https://pavementmedesign.com .

  • Analysis queue administrative panel – System admin can now clear the queue or download designs to check for issues at a user’s request.
  • CAT has been added (along with rePave, MapME, and the BcT) to the suite of tools navigation in the app selection component. To check out any of these tools, click on the app selection component in the upper right of the web app –

  • Copy feature has been added to all read-only property grids – Users can get data out of the read-only tables much easier using this feature.
  • Output report now shows from which tenant and workspace a report was generated.
  • The double letter appendices (along with the NCHRP 1-37A report) have been published to the customer website and are available for download.
  • Added a compiling report step to the design runs – Designs will not “disappear” from the running designs list until they are ready to be downloaded in the next tab.
  • Added metadata, (“Identifiers” tab) to the libraries component. All library metadata can now be saved with the library.
  • Total rows have been added to the vehicle class distribution and monthly adjustment components to more easily identify which columns have incorrect total amounts.

Coming Soon:

  • ELMOD output integration with the BcT
  • Default provider libraries
  • Automated design strategy selection based on design structure
  • CAT infrastructure improvements
  • Improvements to sensitivity and thickness optimization components

The development team continues to work on the APADS refactoring and continue to see improvements in the maintainability of the code as well as incremental performance improvements. Lastly, the team has refocused its effort on the transition to Blazor client side. This transition should allow users to run analyses on their client machine and should vastly improve upload/download performance within the app.

The team continues to work hard on improving the software for the users and would like to extend special thanks to our TRT members who are helping to guide the development of useful tools within the app.
