The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has built a system to integrate its historical transportation asset data. uSing the historical performance of assets, UDOT is able to determine ideal asset management strategies for current assets. However, historical transportation asset data is dispersed throughout local sources, unwieldy, and difficult to integrate. Therefore, historical data integration will not be equally manageable for all organizations.

This presentation focuses on three topics–GIS data requirements, data governance, and integrating GIS into asset management systems. These are critical components of successful GIS data collection and usage.

This presentation reviews the use of GIS and Linear Reference Systems (LRS) to improve asset management plans at the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). These technologies have helped NCDOT to greatly improve its ability to maintain its assets and concurrently map areas where it is in need of help.

This presentation focuses on communication of budgetary needs in transportation asset management. It begins with an overview of tools to analyze and examine budgetary needs of transportation agencies. It then examines the best practices for communication of these budgetary needs to different leaders within one's organization.

This presentation examines how federal legislation such as MAP-21 affects transportation planning and management at the local level. It sent surveys to over 400 MPOs in the US after the first requirement of quantitative metrics in transportation planning. The study provides a more in-depth case study of Baltimore's MPO and how it has responded.

This presentation from the Minnesota Department of Transportation focuses on the improvement of maintenance models to help predict life cycle cost scenarios, capital investment scenarios, and budgeting for multiple asset classes. It provides an example of the software and models used in these situations and the processes that are used.

This presentation begins with background on the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) and the city of Seattle and then introduces the challenges it faces with regard to performance reporting. To combat these challenges, it has developed two dashboards, the Performance Dashboard and the Capital Projects Dashboard. It also briefly discusses the third dashboard that is still in development.

This presentation reviews data systems at state DOTs and suggests possible alternative organizational structures to help streamline data availability and uses. It provides a new and implementable framework for organization. It is followed by a case study from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, consisting of interviews with workers about their management systems.

This presentation is an overview of the US transportation system in an attempt to understand its overall value and understand its effects on economic growth and quality of life. The presentation uses information from the Bureau of Transportation statistics to estimate the overall cost of the US transportation system and the different ways it benefits businesses.

This presentation outlines the risks accompanied by extreme weather and climate change and their effects on transportation asset management. It begins by giving examples of asset damage caused by weather conditions, developing the need for the incorporation of weather related asset management. It then outlines the necessary information for effective asset management and techniques for its use.

This presentation is a general framework for asset management under extreme weather conditions. Weather conditions are a required risk factor that must be accounted for in a TAMP. This presentation outlines the specific TAMP requirements related to extreme weather and best practices for meeting them. It uses Minnesota and Colorado's progress as an example.

This presentation focuses on geotechnical asset management in Alaska. Alaska's geotechnical assets–rock slopes, earth retaining walls, soil and slope embankments– are worth 3 times Alaska's bridge inventory. Care of these assets is critical and this presentation outlines Alaska's strategy to use timely mitigation to increase the cost effectiveness of treatments.
