Managing Non-Traditional Asset Classes
ChallengesNo standard inventory
No condition assessment protocols
No formal deterioration models exist
Repairs/maintenance record not captured electronically
No direct link between with other asset classes
Not a lot commonalities between assets
Managing Non-Traditional Asset Classes
SidewalksThe Problem
New business goals to improve Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance for sidewalks
Need for quicker and more accurate reporting
Ensure the most critical needs are addressed first
Managing Non-Traditional Asset Classes
The Solution
ADA GIS Portal
Tool for engineers, planners and maintenance staff that provides a statewide view of ADA compliance
View locations of pedestrian incidents and fatalities, public and government facilities, as well as, areas where improved mobility for the disabled is needed
Provides for quicker and more accurate reporting
Sidewalks
Data Viewer
Managing Non-Traditional Asset Classes
The Success
Sidewalks
Dramatically reduced the hours neededto create required reports
Evaluation tool to improve the qualityof mobility for citizens with disabilities
Ability to condense projects and streamline funding

Invasive Species
GIS Application
Canada ThistleInventoried thistle sitesusing GPS
Created an GISapplication to view andreport about thistle
Created field map books tobe used to locate thistlefor treatment
Re-inventoried site thefollowing year to measure:
Has the site shrunk, enlargedand/or migrated
How much chemical wasused at each location
Effectiveness of the control strategy
Managing Non-Traditional Asset Classes
Highway Lighting
Collected Inventory using GPS
High Mast Lighting
Panels
Structures
Researched construction history
Began developing a GIS Application
In the process of creating condition assessment protocols
Managing Non-Traditional Asset Classes
Moving ForwardAsset Data Warehouse
Create a repository structure to maintain asset history, description and condition information that will be easily accessible to business units throughout SHA
Create basic standard and ad-hoc reports to include summaries of inventory and condition information
Create interfaces with established management systems
Create GIS application that brings all assets into one place
Develop and implement asset class specific performance models
Develop cross-program analysis tools utilizing information in the Asset ManagementData Warehouse to support trade-off analysis and performance-based planning andbudgeting for asset management activities
Managing Non-Traditional Asset Classes
Maryland PhilosophyA mix of traditional and non traditional assets,everything can benefit from a data driven asset management approach and philosophy
Signs are affected landscaping, etc. …
Focus on data and data integration, looking at assetsand asset data alone is not as valuable as lookingat them together as they affect each other.
Harness investments, look for opportunities to dolighting, barrier, roadway work and sidewalks allat once
