Effective asset management is an inherently multi-disciplinary endeavor. This paper discusses some of the critical disciplines and skills that can help develop or sustain asset management programs in transportation organizations. The information contained in this briefing paper was prepared at the request of the Transportation Asset Management Expert Task Group (TAM ETG).

This collection of resources informs, guides, and documents how Highways England organizations use Lean management principles to eliminate inefficiency.

This guide provides informational support for organizations in the Highways England supply chain to determine the extent to which they have adopted Lean principles.

This set of guidelines, outlined by the Montana Department of Transportation, works to help project managers to understand, foresee, and and manage possible risks throughout their projects. It provides techniques, methods, and tools for risk management. One main focus is the relationship between the scope, cost, and schedule of the project and how changes to any one of those three will force changes upon the other two.

A report on FHWA's Accelerated Implementation and Development of Pavement Technologies (AID-PT), focusing on the development and implementation of innovative pavement technologies.

Anonymous probe vehicle data are currently being collected on major interstates and arterials throughout the United States. Probe data are used to assign average speeds to pre-define roadway segments of varying lengths. These segments are known as Traffic Message Channels (TMCs). Through the analysis of this probe data for each TMC, transportation agencies have been making progress in the development of agency wide performance measures to better plan and manage spatially distributed infrastructure assets. One widely accepted performance measure is travel time reliability, which is calculated along a series of TMC segments that collectively makes up a corridor. When consistent travel times are not achieved, due to incidents or recurring periods of congestion, it is desirable to understand the time and frequency of these increased travel time incidents to better manage the system.

This Winter 2016 TAMNews issue contains an overview on developing an asset inventory, which includes a brief study of Asset Inventory at GBT.

This report was put together by Caltrans to meet the Phase 1 requirement of the TAMP. This California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Asset Management Performance Report provides an overview of activities accomplished in 2015 related to the implementation of asset management and key activities planned for 2016.

This brief, accessible introduction to concepts in risk management was created to support Washington State public agency staff. Specifically targeting new risk managers, the document includes definitions, useful step-by-step guidance, and links to related resources.
