Calculation method

Calculation method

Section [ID,area m²,repair m²,repair fraction]

Shoelace section/defect areas; sum nonoverlapping defect polygons per section.

Total defect area (m²)

Sum absolute shoelace defect areas.

Defect areas [ID,m²]

0.5 × absolute(sum cross products of consecutive vertices including closing edge).

Symbols and units

JSON Defects [ID,section ID,simple polygon vertices [x m,y m]]

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Convex polygon vertices in common planar metre coordinates; defects must lie within their section and have disjoint interiors. Input validation must reject self intersections, overlaps, and outside defects; no severity assessment. Supported limits: At most 20 sections/100 defects, 3–100 vertices each, convex polygons only, no holes; boundary-touching polygons allowed.
