This guide focuses risk management specifically concerning rapid renewal projects, i.e. projects designed to work on an accelerated pace and therefore lessen the project’s disruption to normal transportation patterns. Since projects of this nature are a more recent development, there is less known about how to correctly implement them. This guide formalizes a comprehensive approach to risk management on this kind of project, using steps such as: structuring, risk identification, risk assessment, risk analysis, risk management planning, and risk management implementation.

As a national pilot project, MnDOT produced a TAMP, along with the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development and New York State Department of Transportation, to serve as an example and guide for other states. MnDOT worked closely with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the FHWA Minnesota Division, and regional partners (e.g. Metropolitan Planning Organizations, Regional Development Commissions) to create this plan. MnDOT additionally produced a TAMP Technical Guide, which provides further detail about the process, methodology analyses, and procedures used during its development.

This New Hampshire DOT (NHDOT) Transportation Asset Management Implementation Plan report is the result of a Gap Analysis NHDOT conducted to benchmark current asset management practices versus good practice. Through this exercise, NHDOT developed a Transportation Asset Management Implementation Plan customized to the business processes and needs of the Agency.

The Massachusetts long range plan, weMove Massachusetts, is no longer available on the agency's website.

This presentation from the May 2014 Lean Forum includes a detailed presentation on Lean at the Minnesota DOT and information on process improvement interns.

New York State participated in an FHWA project to create a pilot TAMP to fulfill MAP-21. New York was chosen as one of three pilot states, including Minnesota and Louisiana. NYSDOT’s Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP), provides a window into its asset management practices. The TAMP also establishes a blueprint that includes considerations of: risk, life cycle management, performance management, service levels, strategic alignment, and customer outreach.

A presentation describing risk-based asset management plans, their purposes, and how they may be implemented.

A report on the potential applications of TAM principles in the management of ancillary assets, the integration of ancillary assets into Enterprise Asset Management Systems (EAMS), and the development of an ancillary asset classification hierarchy.

This special report provides guidance on the effective use of stimulus funds by state and federal transportation agencies. It addresses states' use American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds and describes methods for evaluating future investments.

This article discusses the Hoshin Kanri method for strategic planning in organizations. It includes a step-by-step framework that guides users to create 3-5 year goals and strategies with this method.

This presentation from the February 2014 Lean Forum includes detailed presentations from the Ohio DOT, North Carolina DOT, ASQ Government Division. It also provides an update on the Consortium for Lean in State/Provincial Governments.

This monograph is a synthesis of research carried out on traffic signal performance measures based on high-resolution controller event data, assembled into a methodology for performance evaluation of traffic signal systems. High-resolution data consist of a log of discrete events such as changes in detector and signal phase states. A discussion is provided on the collection and management of the signal event data and on the necessary infrastructure to collect these data. A portfolio of performance measures is then presented, focusing on several different topics under the umbrella of traffic signal systems operation. System maintenance and asset management is one focus. Another focus is signal operations, considered from the perspectives of vehicle capacity allocation and vehicle progression. Performance measures are also presented for non-vehicle modes, including pedestrians, and
modes that require signal preemption and priority features. Finally, the use of travel time data is demonstrated for evaluating system operations and assessing the impact of signal retiming activities.
