This presentation focuses on two topics– life cycle cost analysis for bridges and return on investment. It discusses the technology and strategies used in bridge life-cycle cost analysis including costs broken down by treatment. It also analyzes bridge investment strategies for State DOTs.

This presentation focuses on the Life-Cycle Strategy Analysis for bridge decks. It begins by giving background on bridge deck cracking and the objectives driving this initiative such as identifying symptoms of early-age cracking and identify the most effective remediation practices for concrete bridge decks. It then explains current remediation practices and their associated costs. It concludes by noting how Life-Cycle cost analysis during construction and design can lower the required number of remediation treatments and thus lowering the LCC .

This presentation given at the 11th National Conference on Transportation Asset Management provides insight into bridge maintenance cost models based upon asset condition data. MnDOT retrieves bridge data from multiple sources and then combines it using a business intelligence tool. However, within this process MnDOT faces the challenges of data quality, system integration, and accurate development of life cycle cost analysis for bridges.

This report focuses on pavement conditions in Minnesota and how the MnDOT uses preventative maintenance to avoid unnecessary expenditures. Merging time sheets and pavement management data into ORACLE enables MnDOT to analyze pavement cost distribution by surface condition and thus choose the most cost effective option over the assets life cycle.

This presentation was given at the 11th National Conference on Transportation Asset Management. It focuses on the relationship between long-range planning and asset management using the Pennsylvania turnpike as an example. Specific topics include condition information, capital planning, and needs analysis.

The objective of this project is to update FHWA's existing performance reporting template and prototype to align with OST web standards. The project also expands the performance reporting website to include Federal Transit Administration (FTA) performance data from existing data sources, such as the National Transit Database (NTD), and integrates FHWA's assessing significant progress determination towards achieving the performance targets for the National Highway Performance Program (NHPP) and the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP).
