On a street with multiple 100 segments but the same ROW width throughout it may be easier to make the surface calculation first the Area Factor since it is constant for every segment then multiply that number by the estimated depth of debris The Area Factor AF of each segment where the ROW is 100 would be AF 100 L x 200 W 740 27 CY Thus if the first segment has an estimated overall 2 depth of debris then Debris 740 AF x 2 H 1 480 CY The next segment might only have an estimated overall debris depth of 3 3 12 or 0 25 feet then Debris 740 AF x 0 25 H 185 CY NOTE Many smaller streets in a community tend to have the same street width and ROW which can make repeated estimations easier NOTE I f using PDAs for data collection on rural road segments the user will be required to manually alter the record for each rural segment After data have been uploaded open your copy of the Template and click on the navigation button or tab PostData on the home page The column labeled RuralRoad is highlighted in yellow and is filled by default with the value N For each rural segment change that to a Y so that the correct calculations will be executed When you start the software program called SDA on the handheld you will be presented with a Welcome screen Clicking the Next button will carry you from screen to screen which
