Idaho Transportation Department ITD’s new Asset Management System: TAMS(Transportation Asset Management System) Karen A. Strauss, P.E. Pavement Management Engineer
Today’s Presentation • What is “Asset Management”? • ITD’s previous pavement & maintenance management systems • ITD’s goals for the new asset management system • How TAMS meets those goals
What is Asset Management? Definition: “The practice of managing the whole life cycle (design, construction, commissioning, operating, maintaining, repairing, modifying, replacing and decommissioning/disposal) of physical and infrastructure assets.”
TAMS includes: Pavement Management System Maintenance Management System Future Additions: Fleet Management Network Manager Pavement and Maintenance Management: Our Assets
What is Pavement Management? • A planning tool that models Pavement surface deterioration: • Cracking • Roughness • Rutting • Worst-First and Best-First Philosophy • Worst-First: Fix the worst roads first • Best-First: Preserve the most cost effective roads first
Worst-First Perspective • The question: “How deficient (bad) are my roads?” • Recommends fixing the worst first, even if the worst road has little traffic and low speed
Best-First Perspective • The question should be: “What is the maximum benefit I can get from our money in the next 5 years?” • Concentrates on preserving the best of our impact roads first, considering: • Speed • Volume • Expectation
Complex Centrally operated, no statewide access Worst-First No connection to maintenance activities ITD’s previous AssetManagement System
Labor-intensive Data stored in several different places Difficult to replicate consistent model results ITD’s previous AssetManagement System
Our new system needed: A relationship between pavement and maintenance Data available to everyone Repeatable, reliable analysis results Maximization of cost-to-benefit ratio Fast analysis of alternatives Network, District, & Project level functionality Goals for TAMS
The new TAMS system has: Best-first philosophy Asset Management Database Pavement Performance Analysis Connection to a Maintenance Management System Graphing, Reporting, and GIS Maps TAMS
Asset Management Database • We now house data accessible to all statewide TAMS users: • Construction history • Traffic and Safety • Boring Log and Skid Data • Visual Survey Data • Profiler Van Data • Signs and Supports • Etc…
Pavement Performance Analysis • The new system can answer commonly asked questions such as: • If $20 million is added to my budget, how much better will the pavement deficiency be? • How much should we spend to get to a deficiency of 15%? • How much should be spent in each program category?
Pavement data can be graphed Reports automatically generated New reports can be user designed TAMS is linked to GIS Graphing, Reporting, and GIS maps
Today’s Presentation: Summary • ITD’s new asset management system (TAMS): • Best-First philosophy • Accessible data • Robust analysis and mapping features • Reliable and optimized planning for keeping our roads safe and in good condition
