State Departments of Transportation Efforts toward Optimizing the Management of Ancillary Asset Data: State of Practice and Future Recommendations
Publication: Construction Research Congress 2024
ABSTRACT
The evolving concept of smart infrastructure is redefining operational performance toward optimizing the performance of infrastructure systems by leveraging the asset value instead of expanding the existing systems. This can be achieved by leveraging the value of asset data, which is vital for efficient infrastructure management practices. However, state departments of transportation (DOTs) face several challenges in managing transportation asset data throughout the asset life cycle. As such, this paper investigated the current practices in implementing asset management systems (AMS) to manage ancillary transportation asset data, the maintenance management systems’ (MMS) integration with the overall maintenance framework, and the nature of the adopted systems. Furthermore, this study explored the status of adopting AMS to manage the data for 25 ancillary asset classes. A web-based survey was developed and distributed. The results are encouraging and illustrate an increasing interest of state DOTs in implementing AMS to manage ancillary transportation asset data.
