This presentation focuses on knowledge management in the realm of transportation asset management. It outlines the relationship between knowledge, information, and data, and how practices for each affect the others. It also reviews the challenges of data, information, and knowledge management. It provides examples including WSDOT highway lighting and UK rail maintenance.

This presentation focuses on the process of developing customer-oriented performance measures rather than using often inaccurate confusing measures. These measures are far more difficult to calculate and gauge in comparison to infrastructure-based methods, making this a much more difficult task. An in-depth study of state of good repair analysis is included.

These conference proceedings summarize the information relevant to transportation from Minnesota's 2015-2016 legislative session. Topics include asset management and legal framework, creation of a multimodal transportation system, public engagement, and transformation of the Minnesota transportation system and DOT culture.

This presentation outlines the NJ Transportation Planning Authority's goal to create a unified data model to process key data for the 13 county region of northern New Jersey. This process includes data gathering, modeling, deployment and refinement of the model, and reporting and documentation of the model.

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has built a system to integrate its historical transportation asset data. uSing the historical performance of assets, UDOT is able to determine ideal asset management strategies for current assets. However, historical transportation asset data is dispersed throughout local sources, unwieldy, and difficult to integrate. Therefore, historical data integration will not be equally manageable for all organizations.

This presentation focuses on three topics–GIS data requirements, data governance, and integrating GIS into asset management systems. These are critical components of successful GIS data collection and usage.

This presentation reviews the use of GIS and Linear Reference Systems (LRS) to improve asset management plans at the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). These technologies have helped NCDOT to greatly improve its ability to maintain its assets and concurrently map areas where it is in need of help.

This presentation focuses on communication of budgetary needs in transportation asset management. It begins with an overview of tools to analyze and examine budgetary needs of transportation agencies. It then examines the best practices for communication of these budgetary needs to different leaders within one's organization.

This presentation examines how federal legislation such as MAP-21 affects transportation planning and management at the local level. It sent surveys to over 400 MPOs in the US after the first requirement of quantitative metrics in transportation planning. The study provides a more in-depth case study of Baltimore's MPO and how it has responded.

This presentation from the Minnesota Department of Transportation focuses on the improvement of maintenance models to help predict life cycle cost scenarios, capital investment scenarios, and budgeting for multiple asset classes. It provides an example of the software and models used in these situations and the processes that are used.

This presentation begins with background on the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) and the city of Seattle and then introduces the challenges it faces with regard to performance reporting. To combat these challenges, it has developed two dashboards, the Performance Dashboard and the Capital Projects Dashboard. It also briefly discusses the third dashboard that is still in development.

This presentation reviews data systems at state DOTs and suggests possible alternative organizational structures to help streamline data availability and uses. It provides a new and implementable framework for organization. It is followed by a case study from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, consisting of interviews with workers about their management systems.
