Overview

Road assets stored in Citywide Assets need to have Maintenance Class assigned as the MMS are based on the asset’s class.  Maintenance Class can be assigned in Assets or in Route Patrol.

• The Maintenance Class field must be populated for all road segments according to the road class of the asset, so that the MMS compliance status for road patrol frequency and deficiency resolution can be tracked and reported upon.

 

If Maintenance Class was not assigned to road assets as part of the initial AM inventory upload, it can be done in the following ways.

1. Click to Home 🢡 Maintenance 🢡 Route Patrol 🢡 Maintenance Class.
2. Click  + New Maintenance Class  ❶. The Maintenance Classes dialog box appears:
   
3. Define Maintenance Classes in the system as Class 1 – Class 6 and set up the MMS patrolling frequency for each class.

MMS Patrol Frequency and Compliance Ranges

The frequency of patrolling municipal roadways to maintain a minimum standard of road maintenance is configured by the Maintenance Class of the road assets.

See below example for configuring MMS patrolling frequency and compliance range for Class 3 assets, based on the given table in Ontario Road MMS regulation which states the patrolling frequency for Classes 1-5 (for Ontario clients).

The MMS Compliance Range for all statuses other than Due, can be customized as per the organization’s preference. The patrol is due at the MMS required frequency or can be as per the Municipality’s local level of service.
