The system is expected to accommodate expansion with capabilities such as ramps, individual lanes, shoulders, sidewalks, ...

and the ability to expand also includes the need to have condition, modeling, actions, costs, ... capabilities as well

[note on lanes: the current pavement management system uses the field lane throughout where

        0 means the road is undivided,

        1 is for West Bound,

        2 is NB,

        3 is EB, and

        4 is WB,

 at some point KDOT will need to reconsider what lanes means and determine how they will be coded]
