This presentation defines performance management, explores the motivation behind performance management, discusses the optimal metrics used in data collection, and exemplifies setting performance targeting.

This presentation recognizes the unique situation of every local transportation agency, but attempts to provide performance managements that focus on underlying factors that affect all agencies using the Metropolitan Transportation Commission of the greater San Francisco area as its case study. It outlines basic attributes of guiding principles and key performance indicators.

This presentation focuses on the developments and ongoing plans within the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), including MnState Highway Investment Plan, the Minnesota Transportation Asset Management Plan, and the governors plan. It also discusses methods for the refinement of estimated financial needs for asset management at MnDOT.

This presentation identifies funding practices that have successfully ensured reliable, adequate funding to support the delivery of efficient and effective maintenance programs. Based upon these practices it then suggests a number of recommendations for State DOTs to help determine optimal funding levels for themselves.

This presentation is a case study of the Indiana Department of Transportation and its asset management program with help form Cambridge Systematics. In particular, the presentation discusses the varying costs that results from different possible routes of asset management and the strategies used to determine the level of available funding.

This presentation discusses sustainability, methods for measuring sustainability both quantitatively and qualitatively, and how it can be factored into decision-making for transportation asset management. It provides examples of including quantitative measurements of sustainability into asset decision analysis.

This presentation outlines the work the Connecticut DOT (CTDOT) has done to integrate its asset inventory system. An integrated system improve efficiency for asset data collection and tracking. However, the current system has little structure and the integration process is being discussed as part of the TAMP process.

This presentation focuses on asset vulnerability in the wake of floods. The presentation examines the vulnerability assessment scoring tool (VAST) based off of the Post Event Assessment of Resilience (PEAR) developed by the US DOT to determine which asset are at risk due to climate vulnerabilities. Using this tool DOTs are able to estimate their exposure and sensitivity, however the system can still be improved.

This presentation outlines the possible effects climate change could have on transportation asset management. It begins with an overview of climate change, and then transitions into the discussion of deteriorating infrastructure and the contribution of environmental stressors to that deterioration and as a result the changes in life-cycle cost analysis and cost comparisons.

This presentation focuses on the use of sensor and scanning technologies for data collection at the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT). MassDOT uses thermal scanning, scanning cleaning systems, bus washing sensors, and LiDAR to improve efficiency and save on costs within its system. This presentation outlines the uses of those systems and explains both the pros and cons accompanying each one.

This presentation focuses on data collection methods in the city of Manchester, New Hampshire. It begins by introducing the city and the challenges it currently faces and then transitions into discussion about the city's pavement and asset data collection approach. Manchester recently implemented an enterprise asset management system, eventually collecting data on all city owned and maintained streets. This resulted in an drastic increase in asset management efficiency.

This presentation focuses on data collection and management. It uses 2 case studies to examine different data collection methods and productivity. It begins with data collection on guardrails at MassDOT and the difficulties accompanied by it. The second case study discusses remote data collection at the Michigan Department of Transportation.The conclusions from both studies indicate that data is most supportive when it can be discussed face to face between departments.
