The department hired a new system analyst to analyse and design the web-based PHTRS. The analyst came up with the following description of their requirement: Citizens can log onto a website to view and make potholes report. The report contains the location and severity of potholes. As potholes are reported they are logged with a "public works department repair system" and are assigned with the given data. The recorded potholes consist of information as follows: an identifying number, stored with street address, size (on a scale of 1 to 10), location (middle, curb, etc.), district, and repair priority (determined from the size of the pothole). Further, a work order data is generated for each newly added pothole in the system. A work order is issued by an authorised PHTRS employee. A repair crew is allocated to repair…arrow_forward

The survey pool will be all addresses in the zip code for Far Rockaway, including businesses (excluding government offices). NOTE: The purpose of shoreline erosion prevention is to maintain the shorelines natural ability to handle tides, whereas erosion increases the chances of flooding. Other benefits of erosion prevention are habitat conservation for flora and fauna. NOTE: Erosion prevention often involves reducing both foot and vehicle traffic, and regulating/preventing certain forms of construction and demolition. Additionally, the importation of beach sand from less impacted/impactful areas to support areas with frequent erosion. NOTE: The estimated cost of beach erosion across three potential scenarios is: 1) $50 for 25% prevention. 2) $75 for 50% prevention. or 2) $100 for 75% prevention. 100% prevention…arrow_forwardSeverity vs. Frequency looks at the loss rate that is more predictable on low severity, high frequency lines of insurance than it is on high severity, low frequency lines.
