Pavement Management

Asset Management Systems

What is Transportation Asset Management?

An ongoing process of maintaining, upgrading, and operating physical assets cost effectively, based on a continuous physical inventory and condition assessment

Inventory What do I own?

You cant manage what you dont know you own

11

Inventory What do I own?

Need data on any feature that influences:

Cost to Replace or Maintain Maintenance or Rehab Treatment Options Influences Management Decisions Service Life
12

Inventory Basics

Pavement Type
Asphalt Concrete Sealcoat Composite

How many lane miles of each? How wide are the lanes? Where are they? Map
13

Inventory Others

What types of roads are they? functional class Maintenance history Funding qualification Curb types Shoulder type and width Presence of other utilities and general condition Confining structures (overpass)
14

Condition What Shape is it In?

15

Condition Picking A System

Sustainable


Can I afford to collect the data? Can my staff collect that data or do I have to hire it out? Can I collect enough data to give me suitable information?

Be descriptive about the asset

Can I make decisions about the asset from the rating? Can it be understood by staff? Can I explain it to public and elected officials? Is the level of data appropriate?

16

Condition Rating Types of Systems

Ordered State Ratings
Set of criteria which describe a set of discrete, ordered states.
Professional observer judges state and assigns rating. Usually most cost effective system Most subject to variability by rater

17

PASER Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating Maintenance State Good Fair Poor MDOT Sufficiency Rating System

Condition Rating Types of Systems

Index System
Set of criteria which relates physical measurements of distress extent and observer opinion of severity to a numeric rating. Criteria numerically relate distresses to each other. Usually requires sampling and reliance on statistics to apply over large network Index levels may not be discrete Record of distress propagation

Condition Rating Types of Systems

Measurements of physical aspects

Rutting Roughness Skid resistance FWD data (pavement rigidity) Crack frequency

20

Why Rate Roads?

Anticipate treatment windows When to do things Condition measure What things to do Measure of adequacy How did that treatment/design work? Measure of network change - Are things getting better or worse?

21

Prediction What Shape WILL it be in?

22

Predicting the Future Condition

Past experience / Professional opinion Rules of thumb Traffic Volume Model historical rating data Forward Looking Models
23

Predicting the Future

Rules of thumb

24

New asphalt pavement last 14 years

5 years after rehab or 2 years after overlay need a crack seal 8 years after resurfacing need seal coat

Overlays last 6 years

Concerns No calibration Assumptions are sensitive to error

Predicting the Future

Traffic Volume

Design ESALS
Use traffic counts as measure of remaining service life

Concerns
Assumes construction reflects design Hard to calibrate to meaningful intervals

25

Modeling Historical Data

26

Modeling Historical Data

Constrained polynomial

Fit progressively higher order polynomials

Constrain so fit line does not have positive slope

Curve Form Fitting

27

Makes assumptions about general form Fits curve family to data points

Network Level Vs. Project Level

Project: Moving pieces

Network: Winning game

32

Service Cycle

How big is the network? How much of the network do I do work on?

How long will it take to touch the entire network?

Is this longer than the expected life of my pavement? EXAMPLE 500 lane mile road network Do 10 lane miles of work each year Takes 500/10 = 50 years to touch all of the network Asphalt pavement only last 15 years

Is It A Management System?

GASB 34

Accounting method Requires road assets to be reported as cash value Assets must be devalued for age or quality Results must be reported to federal government

44

Systems Management Adoption

In order for a system to be valued and have longevity it must do the following:

o Be part of the agencies business practice,

AND

o Work to make a necessary business practice easier,

AND

o The time spent supporting the system must be less that the
value it provides.
