Conversion methodology

Applies to single records and batch runs alike
Input scale direction

Some municipal UDI definitions count distress upward. Pick the wrong direction and every result inverts, so confirm this against your data dictionary before a batch run.

Method notes and limitations

Control points (Option A)

UDI PCI Bracket

Default coefficients (Option B)

a = −5.91, b = 1.015 are a least-squares fit through the six Option A control points, not a field calibration. They reproduce the banded curve to within about 11 PCI points at the low end and under 4 points above PCI 55. Replace them with coefficients from paired UDI/PCI survey data before using Option B for programming decisions.

What this tool is not

There is no published standard that converts UDI to PCI. UDI definitions differ by municipality in both distress set and weighting, so a converted PCI is an estimate for screening and budget scenarios, not a substitute for an ASTM D6433 survey. Verify the bracket table against your own UDI specification before adopting it.
