Utility Pole Accident Countermeasures Evaluation Program and Input Processor--User's Manual

摘要

This is a user's manual for the UPACE and UPACE1 on IBM-PC and compatible microcomputers. The Utility Pole Accident Countermeasure Evaluation (UPACE) computer program is a tool to facilitate the cost effectiveness analysis of utility pole accident countermeasures. The program undertakes analysis of roadway sections relative to utility pole accident problems and treatments, and provides the information needed for decision making. The UPACE program was originally developed for the mainframe computer. It has been converted to run under the MS DOS operating system on IBM-PC and compatible microcomputers. An input processor was developed to assist users in creating and modifying input data files.
