Asset Management Ohio GIS Conference September 2013 Presented by: Kim Christian – GIS Director Licking County Engineer’s Office
What We Knew • LAND AREA: 688 SQ. MI. – 3RD LARGEST IN OHIO • 421 C/L MILES • 393 BRIDGES (275 NBIS) • 1,800 CULVERTS • 5,000+ SIGNS • 10 RAILROAD CROSSINGS (at grade) • CURRENT NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES: 44 • HIGHWAY WORKERS: 1988 58 2012 36 • Crash Rates • 2009 Ranked 3rd Statewide in Runoff Road Crash Rates
Goals of the Project • Roadway Feature Inventory • Deficiency Inventory • Track Deficiency Reduction Trends • Create County Work Plan • Create Maintenance Budgeting Tool • Correlate Deficiencies to Crash Records • Correlate Deficiency Reduction • to Crash Mitigation • Provide Maintenance Record • Database
Licking County Previous CEAO High Crash Location Study performed by HDR will be used to Correlate Deficiency Reduction to Crash Mitigation
SCOPE OF WORK • Locations, Condition and Assessment of the • Following: • Guardrail • Pavement Markings • Signs • Hazards • Ball Bank • No Passing Zone • Culverts • Meaningful Data Naming Convention
Data Collection • Collected more than 10,700 features in approximately 6 months (421 centerline miles of county road) • 530 Guardrail Segments • 421 mi Pavement Markings • 8900 Signs • 1100 Unprotected Hazards • 150 Curves • 75 No Passing Zones
Data Collection • Guardrail • Offset, Condition, Length, Type, Maintenance • Signs • Location, Code, Condition, Retro, Field Photo, Associated Support • Hazards • Ditches, Embankments, Culverts, Rocks, Trees, Structures, Pavement Drop-offs, Poles • Reasonable assessment of “Hazard” • Recommendation
Data Collection (cont’d) • Ball Bank • Per ODOT Traffic Engineering Manual, Section 1213-2 • Curves with Advisory Speeds or Unmarked Curves • No Passing Zones • Per MUTCD Guidelines • Curves, Intersections, Railroad, Bridges, Transitions, etc.
Licking County Maintenance Zones • County Divided into 5 Maintenance Zones • Divided by Roadways, not Township Boundaries
Rankings • Standards set for each asset • e.g., Pavement Condition Rating • Based Loosely on ODOT Rating Criteria • Simplified for the County To 1-5 Scale
Budgeting • Planning for future needs • Track asset costs
Crashes • Tie to hazards • Show improvement trends
Maintenance Records • Field Data Entry • Associated roadway item information (sign, guardrail) • Work required • Completion Data • Field Photo • Google Earth Fly-in Link
Maintenance Records • Follow-up Work • Query data to provide decision information • Develop initial maintenance plans
Maintenance Records • Most Difficult Part of Database • Who will update? • Field Techs vs. Office Staff • Update Methods • Paperwork • Field Data Entry – Laptop, Tablet • Geo-coded Picture
Maintenance Zones • Between Townships/Districts • Track work and improvement
