•
•
value of asset management through the sharing of
best practices.
b. Methods - Assist with the development of
stronger asset management methods for:

Many players
• “All major functional areas.
Asset Management begins at
planning and is followed
through the life-cycle of a
project through
maintenance and
operations. Information
Technology and Finance
Officers are key players.”
7/18/2015
Many players
• Each transportation agency is
organized differently; the
following list addresses
functional categories:
–
–
–
–
Maintenance;
Operations;
Road inventory;
Geographic information systems
(GIS) & mapping;
– Planning;
– Real-time systems;

Committee
structure unclear
Should we consider changing our Subcommittee structure of two members
from both SCOP and SCOH per AASHTO region?
Yes
No
Unsure
7/18/2015
How to improve
the ‘structure’
• “This is clearly a “boundary
crossing” issue, making it
the relevant work of many
different AASHTO
committees, as currently
structured.”

TAM’s location
• Many noted that asset
management functions are
small
• Often serve as a
coordination function
7/18/2015
TAM and
Performance
Does your agency link asset management and performance management?
Yes
No
7/18/2015
TAM and
performance
• “We have set some very specific
goals for pavements and bridges We
still have to add other areas like ITS.”
• “Some programs such as Pavement
surfacing or Rehabilitation and
Bridges are somewhat linked. Other
areas no.”
• “In the areas of bridge and
pavements we do constantly monitor
and evaluate the performance of
these areas as we updated the
conditions for these assets.”

Range of assets
• “Currently stovepipes of
information that need to be
integrated. Additional data
needs to be collected for these
assets as well.”
• “In infancy stages of doing
this.”
• “We are beginning with
pavements, bridges, and
signs.”

Safety & TAM
• We’re hoping to develop and
asset management system
for our safety assets – signs,
guardrails, markers, etc. In
addition, pavement and
bridge asset management is
clearly tied to safety;
degraded pavements and
structures are safety
concerns.
7/18/2015
Safety comments
• Asset conditions affect
safety
• Safety items should be
managed as assets
• Safety should be addressed
when assets are treated
• Safety involves ‘hard’ and
‘soft’ assets – is some
overlap
7/18/2015
Innovations
• States reported a broad
array of innovations
• Each could be used in the
peer review, best practices
efforts
