Assets for an TAM Approach

Category AssetsRoadway Pavement, bridges, and tunnels

Roadside Drainage, vegetation, fencing, sound barriers, retaining walls, slopes and rock slide protection

Traffic and Safety

Guardrail, highway lighting, pavement marking, signals, and signs

Emergency Response & Incident Management

ITS assets such as CMS, cameras, traffic sensors, HAR, RWIS, HOV gates, hurricane gates, ramp meters, fog detection, lane use signals, communications infrastructure, and telecommunication hardware

Facilities Ferries, rest areas, waysides, sidewalk/ trails, bike paths, parking lots, bus shelters, and toll collection facilities

3

Addressing Assets with Limited Data

Data requirements for each type of asset depend on the importance to the agency (% of total spending?)

Random or targeted sampling for inventory and condition information. What are the costs and benefits?

Regular, life-cycle based work planning and scheduling where condition information is not available

Increase frequency of work on facilities where consequences of an unplanned disruption of service is greater, and where condition information is not available

Embrace technologies to improve cost effectiveness of data collection (e.g., the use of video imaging inventory collection, and the use of mobile technologies)

Address Safety in TAM

Preservation actions keep infrastructure in safe, serviceable condition

Operations includes actions to maintain the safe and efficient flow of traffic

Capacity Expansion investments offer the opportunity to utilize safety best practices and examine design options with potential safety benefits

Work zones disrupt traffic and may increase chance of crashes. TAM should take into account the costs of traffic disruptions as well as the cost of the work

6

Address Safety in TAM (Cont.)

Policy-Driven: safety programs respond to the policy objective of preventing crashes and associated injuries and fatalities.

Performance-Based: safety objectives should be translated into quantitative performance measures

Analysis of Options and Tradeoffs: analysis of options and tradeoffs should consider costs and benefits of service disruption and safety associated with work zones

Decisions Based on Quality Information: use solid, credible information to make good decisions about resource allocation and strategy selection is fundamental to transportation safety.

7

TAM for Integrated Statewide Planning

Assess benefits and costs of operational improvements (including the use of non-highway assets) vs. building new capacity

Use life-cycle cost information to assess the trade off between designing more durable (highway and non-highway) infrastructure and spending more on maintenance

Evaluate delivery options (e.g., design-build, use of private contractors for M&O, inter-agency agreements, etc

Identify maintenance best practices based on different levels of service;

Use life-cycle information to incorporate replacement of non-highway technology and safety assets in the planning process;

8

TAM for Integrated Statewide Planning (Cont.)

Strengthen agency and public consideration of preservation and operations investments within the long-range planning process

Integrate environmental considerations throughout the transportation planning and decision-making process - across capacity, operational and preservation investments; and

Provide a common information resource base to serve multiple activities across the transportation asset life cycle: – long-range planning, – corridor studies, – safety studies, – environmental assessments, – multi-year capital programming, – project development, – preventive maintenance and system operations.
