Asset Management is the Strategic Level of PMS
Pavement Management is a Key Element in Asset Management Since 50-60% of Assets are Pavements.
We in Pavements Become Preoccupied With Fine Details
WE MUST THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.
Executive Session
PMS is Widely Used in Warranty Contracts– Performance Based Maintenance Contracts– Toll Roads in Europe
Where Profit Motive is Present, PMS is Heavily Used
Benefits Using PMS Have Been Proven in
$ Terms in Arizona and Elsewhere
Executive Session
State DOTs are Using PMS, But We Need to Continue to Educate Administrators
Good PMS Data Can Be Used for Research and Engineering Analysis

SUMMARY
PMS Is Valuable and Widely Used, but We Still Have a SELLING Job to Do.
A MAJOR Investment in Research Is Needed.
Executive Session
Theme 1-Integrating A PMS with Transportation Asset and
Infrastructure Management
Dr. Sue McNeil/Dr. Assam Sharaf
What We Did
Seven Sessions– Technology – Tools– Local– Applications– Systems– Integration– Privatization
Two Workshops
– Asset Valuation
– What Do We Know About Asset Management and What Do We Need to Know?
Theme 1
What We Saw and Heard
The FHWA / AASHTO Definition Over and Over and Over Again
Some Other Definitions Lots of Flow Charts, Process Diagrams,
System Diagrams, and Org Charts
Theme 1
Issues
Data Ownership Location Referencing Data Integration (Physical and Virtual) Issues Related to Privatization Still a Diversity of Opinions and
Definitions of What Asset Management Is and Can Do
Theme 1
Ideas
Asset Management Is a Communication Tool
Strategic Side of Management GASB 34 Is Raising Awareness but It
May Putting the Emphasis in the Wrong Place
Pavement Management Is a Good Foundation for Asset Management
Theme 1
Asset Valuation Workshop Presentations
– GASB 34
– Asset Valuation Methods and Issues Exercise – Value a “Mythical” 8km Section of
Road Including a Bridge, Signs, Guardrail, Mature Trees, Quarry Stockpiles, Quarry, Buildings and Contaminated Soils
Theme 1
Asset Valuation Workshop
What Happened – Generated a Lot of Discussion, – Realized It Is Possible but Requires Many
Assumptions– Methods – Historical Value, Market Value,
Written Down Replacement– Values Ranged From $8,000 to $2.6 Million (No
One Used Replacement Cost!!!)
Theme 1
Workshop: What Do We Know and What Do We Need to Know?
Goals and Objectives
– Motherhood and Apple Pie Vs. Measurable
Data Collection and Usage
– “Data Bucket” Planning and Programming
– Document Process Management
– Impacts of Administrative Change
Implementation
– Accountability/ Ownership
What Do We Need to Know
How Are We Going to Get the Information
How Are We Going to Disseminate the Information
Theme 1
“Closing the Gap Between Vision and Reality”
Still Creating Our Vision for Asset Management
Some Small Agencies and Some International Agencies Are Actually Doing
Most of the Rest of Us Are Just Talking It Is Time to Commit to a Vision and Deal
With Reality
Theme 1
18 Paper Presentations:– Local Agency PMS, Improved Process,
Development Issues, Documented Benefits, and Implementation Issues
Panel Discussion: Airport PMS Workshops on
– How to Be a Pavement Management Champion,
– Powerful Presentation
Theme 2
How to Be a Pavement Management Champion
Getting to Know Your Target Audience Five Scenarios Related to PMS Application Removing Obstacles to a Successful PMS Maintaining Support for a Successful PMS Skills of a Champion Self-assessment
Theme 2
Important Notes to Give a Powerful Presentation
Use Right Sensory Modes to Match the Audience or the Person You Are Talking to
11 Things Not to Say in a Presentation, Such As
– You Wouldn't Understand
– I’m Not Going to Say This Again
– ….
Theme 2
Important Notes to Give a Powerful Presentation (Cont.)
Control the Voice Tone, Pace, Pitch, and Modulation.
Use the Body Language to Help the Speech or Emphasize the Points.
To Perform Rather Than Report.
Theme 2
Most Important Tips to Give a Powerful Presentation
Be Prepared Know Your Audience Respond to Their Needs
Theme 2
Key Issues
Move to Automated Systems Continuing Need for QC/QA Appropriate Level of Detail Challenges
Theme 3
Automated Distress Systems
+ Faster
+ More Repeatable
+ Continuity Over Time
+ Safety
- Level of Detail
- Range of Distresses
Theme 3
Automated Profile
Laser-Based Profile Measuring Devices If Profile Accurate, IRI Good IRI Good Does Not Mean Profile Accurate Extend Use of Profile Information
– Aircraft Applications– Truck Axle Spacings
Theme 3
QA/QC – Profile/Ride
Calibration – Manufacturer Certification
– Independent Checking (State Agency, 3rd Party)
– “Artificial” Test Sections
– Measured Test Sections (Dipstick, Rod and Level)
– Mechanical Devices (Future)
Data Collection– Frequent (preferably daily)
Theme 3
QA-QC - Visual Data Calibration/Certification: 3 Day Annual
Course– Method – Data Collection– Review Results
Data Collection ~ Validation by Cross Checking, Auditing, Blind Sections
Theme 3
Appropriate Level of Detail
Asset Management Pavement Management Contract Maintenance
Level ofDetail Required
Theme 3
Challenges Transportable Calibration Equipment for Profile
Equipment Wider Use of Profile Data (more than one IRI) Certification Procedure for Automated Visual
Distress Equipment Precision of Equipment vs. Modeling Needs Link Between Legacy (manual) Systems and
Newer (automated) Systems
Theme 3
Theme 4 - Applying PMS Information to Construction &
Maintenance Programs
Wouter Gulden/Dr. Francescia la Torre
Life Cycle Cost Analysis & User Costs
LCCA Becoming Common in Decision Process
Need Better Long-term LCCA User Costs Used in LCCA Usually Relate
Only to Traffic Delay Costs Move to Vehicle Operating Costs
Theme 4
Warranties & Performance Related Specifications - Issues Lowest First Cost Bid Procurement Prescriptive Specifications Difficulties Administering & Enforcing
Warranty Specifications Negative Risk Vs Reward Environment Long-term Surety Bonds
Theme 4
Future PMS Needs to Support use of Data for Engineering
Performance Model Calibration Maintenance & Rehabilitation Data Performance Data for Calibration Coordination With Other Work Impact of Adjacent Structures (Signs,
Culverts, Safety, Etc.) Interaction With Maintenance
Theme 4
Web Based
Efficient Method of Communication– Politicians – Within Agency– Road Users
Currently Utilized by Several Road Agencies
Theme 5
Web Based (Cont.) Advantages

5th International Conference on Managing Pavements
“Closing the Gap between Vision and Reality”
What have we learned? How will we use this knowledge? How do we move forward?
Areas of Concentration
Integrating PMS with Transportation Asset and Infrastructure Management
Ensuring PMS Continues to Meet Agencies’ Needs
Collecting and Analyzing PMS Data Applying PMS Information to Construction
and Maintenance Programs Adopting and Using Innovative Approaches
Challenge and Charge
Currently PMS is in a state of transition.
We need to re-identify our roles and effectively communicate them to the politicians and the public.
We can’t be complacent, we can’t sit back and rest on our past successes.
We have to raise our awareness and keep PMS dynamic.
Post Conference Charge
“ We have to continue re-inventing the Pavement Management Wheel”
We can achieve these goals of a sustainable and secure PMS by focussing in on:– education
– supporting continued funding of PMS research
– successful integration of PMS with other management systems
– enhance communications through web based services
