[EPIC] Include road repair/replacement cost in choosing the right measure

[ArdtK]

Goal
Based on the available measures the cost of the roads should be taken into account when choosing the most optimal measure.

Current situation
The measure is chosen based on the available space in a fixed order (grond->kwelscherm->stab scherm->kistdam).

Desired situation

1. Include the road cost in the measure cost per section meter.
2. Choose the best measure based on the space availability and road cost.

Notes

• The presence of roads doesn't limit the available measures. They only influence the cost (and indirectly the choice of measure).

Scope

• Read ini-files containing the different road presence (road meter per 1x5m area per road type).
  • Road types: <2, 2-4, 4-7, >7m, unknown.
• Output: show per measure what the road cost are (calculated over different road types) for each section meter.
  • Dump the road length + road cost per measure type and road type for repair or replacement (2x4x5x2=80 columns).
    • Zone A is width of crest. Zone B is rest of impacted area.
    • If the crest height doesn't change and the road resides in zone A the road repair cost apply. In all other cases the road replacement cost apply..
      • Later: Any exceptions based on measure type
  • Different cost apply between road repair and road replacement cost.
    • Cost of replacing a measure are removal + build. Cost of repair are only build.
• Later: Choose the measure based on both the available space and the road cost.
  • Note this impacts the strategy of choosing the right measures based on the requirements implemented previous sprint (minimal length of or distance between measures).

Actions Peter

• Share input files containing the cost.
• Later ("Strategy" should choose the measure based on both the available space and the road cost. #169): Specify requirements to differentiate between repair and replacement based on measure type.

Issue breakdown

• Read input files containing the road presence per road type. #131
• Add road cost to new output (replacement only). #132
• Apply repair cost if crest heigth remains the same. #133
• Add road repair/replacement cost per measure type to existing output. #134
• Extend documentation. #135
