TRB Spatial Data and Information Science Committee (ABJ60) Asset Management and Infrastructure Renewal

Vision for Asset Management and Infrastructure Renewal Effective transportation infrastructure Inventory Analysis Management practices Optimized asset management business processes Sound decision making practices Customer/practitioner/decision maker asset management needs met Jim – I changed the style a little bit to hopefully more clearly show what we expect to be the future reality (e.g., “Effective …” instead of “Improve …”).

Spatial Data Current Practice (Regularly) used for Pavement management Bridge management Linearly referenced inventory programs (Not regularly) used for ROW/roadside asset management Maintenance scheduling and routing Spatial analysis, querying, and reporting

Pavement Management Bridge Management Signal Inventory

Sample of Ongoing Research Data modeling, e.g., ROW, utilities, zoning Spatial data collection technologies System performance indicator integration Internet/Intranet technologies

Emphasis Areas System performance assessment Resource allocation Program development Project management Multi-agency communication, coordination, and data integration Maintenance/operations integration

Spatial Data Challenges Data collection and maintenance Data quality Metadata standards – transferability Data integration Data accessibility Historical data – storage and access

Spatial Analysis Challenges Analysis tools – data mining Spatio-temporal data modeling Visualization/communication Note: I removed “Decision support – executive, legislative” as a bullet because I didn’t quite see the connection with the other bullets.

Organizational Challenges Enterprise deployment strategies Resources - $ and time Spatial IT Infrastructure - accessibility Legal - liability Accounting Institutional – implementation Complexity

Breakout Session Issues Enterprise GIS Spatio-temporal data modeling Data management issues Data integration Spatial data analysis Education and outreach
