The data required for a road materials database was identified and a basic structure formulated during 2003. A set of Excel workbooks and associated worksheets was developed as a foundation for the database and as an interim means of gathering test data. A modular approach was used to minimise processing time. This was implemented using data from a recycling project and various deficiencies were identified. The database was restructured, eliminating the inventory module, as the existing information used in the PMS database could be used directly and data input thus minimised. The information that was in the original inventory and is not included in the PMS database has been added to the individual spreadsheets where appropriate.
