pof_future_poles: Future Probability of Failure for Poles

In Utiligize/CNAIM: Common Network Asset Indices Methodology (CNAIM)

Future Probability of Failure for Poles

Description

This function calculates the future annual probability of failure per kilometer for a poles. The function is a cubic curve that is based on the first three terms of the Taylor series for an exponential function. For more information about the probability of failure function see section 6 on page 34 in CNAIM (2021).

Usage

pof_future_poles(
  pole_asset_category = "20kV Poles",
  sub_division = "Wood",
  placement = "Default",
  altitude_m = "Default",
  distance_from_coast_km = "Default",
  corrosion_category_index = "Default",
  age,
  pole_decay = "default",
  observed_condition_inputs,
  reliability_factor = "Default",
  simulation_end_year = 100,
  gb_ref_given = NULL
)

Arguments

pole_asset_category	String The type of asset category
sub_division	String. Refers to material the pole is made of.
placement	String. Specify if the asset is located outdoor or indoor.
altitude_m	Numeric. Specify the altitude location for the asset measured in meters from sea level.altitude_m is used to derive the altitude factor. See page 111, table 23 in CNAIM (2021). A setting of "Default" will set the altitude factor to 1 independent of asset_type.
distance_from_coast_km	Numeric. Specify the distance from the coast measured in kilometers. distance_from_coast_km is used to derive the distance from coast factor See page 110, table 22 in CNAIM (2021). A setting of "Default" will set the distance from coast factor to 1 independent of asset_type.
corrosion_category_index	Integer. Specify the corrosion index category, 1-5.
age	Numeric. The current age in years of the conductor.
pole_decay	Numeric Pole Decay
observed_condition_inputs	Named list observed_conditions_input conductor_samp = c("Low","Medium/Normal","High","Default"). See page 161, table 199 and 201 in CNAIM (2021).
reliability_factor	Numeric. reliability_factor shall have a value between 0.6 and 1.5. A setting of "Default" sets the reliability_factor to 1. See section 6.14 on page 73 in CNAIM (2021).
simulation_end_year	Numeric. The last year of simulating probability of failure. Default is 100.
gb_ref_given	optional parameter to use custom reference values

Value

Numeric array. Future probability of failure per annum per kilometre for poles.
