This presentation is an overview of the US transportation system in an attempt to understand its overall value and understand its effects on economic growth and quality of life. The presentation uses information from the Bureau of Transportation statistics to estimate the overall cost of the US transportation system and the different ways it benefits businesses.

This presentation outlines the risks accompanied by extreme weather and climate change and their effects on transportation asset management. It begins by giving examples of asset damage caused by weather conditions, developing the need for the incorporation of weather related asset management. It then outlines the necessary information for effective asset management and techniques for its use.

This presentation is a general framework for asset management under extreme weather conditions. Weather conditions are a required risk factor that must be accounted for in a TAMP. This presentation outlines the specific TAMP requirements related to extreme weather and best practices for meeting them. It uses Minnesota and Colorado's progress as an example.

This presentation focuses on geotechnical asset management in Alaska. Alaska's geotechnical assets–rock slopes, earth retaining walls, soil and slope embankments– are worth 3 times Alaska's bridge inventory. Care of these assets is critical and this presentation outlines Alaska's strategy to use timely mitigation to increase the cost effectiveness of treatments.

This presentation focuses on the challenges faced by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) including increase population and climate change. These upcoming changes require extensive planning and vulnerability assessments. It then outlines the NCTCOG TAM efforts including proposed plans, project delivery, and data management needs. It also discusses the NCTCOG ecological framework

This presentation focuses on risk management. First, it defines risk and its current place in transportation asset management. It then explains risk management's relationship to performance management, using examples such as fuel consumption trends and construction price trends. Finally, it provides background information on a variety of risk management tools, software, and simulations.

This presentation outlined the effects bring a Transportation Asset Management Plan pilot state had on Minnesota. It gives an overview of Minnesota's progress and future challenges. This include the work it has already completed including asset analysis, performance targets, and investment.

This presentation by AgileAssets reviews transportation asset management basics and introduces the MAP-21 performance measures required for agencies. It then discusses bridge condition performance measures and analysis techniques including a case study of the Georgia bridge network using those tools.

This presentation focuses on the development of a life-cycle pavement management system that weighs multiple objectives such as financial, performance, environmental, and social costs in its decision making. It summarizes the framework for such a program and provides multiple examples showing life cycle assessments from actual situations.

This presentation focuses on socio technical asset management–the management of assets that considers both the stakeholder reactions to investment decisions as well as the technical requirements. It explains this concept through case studies of implemented socio technical asset management programs such as New Zealand.

This presentation addresses the problem of pavement condition data quality. Pavement Condition Data provides transportation agencies with the information they need in order to provide quality service and maintain their assets in good condition. The presentation explains the data collection methods and simulates an example, showing some of the existing errors.

This presentation explores the different methods of economic analysis for pavement management decisions. The presentation explains the advantages and disadvantages of Fundamentals of Economic (ROI) Analysis, HERS-ST analysis, benefit cost analysis, among others. It concludes with a more in-depth explanation of the HERS-ST software used by the FHWA.
