Virginia has the third-largest State-maintained highway system in the country. State legislation requires the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to fund the maintenance of this system before funding capital improvements. To ensure the best possible maintenance investment decisions, VDOT initiated a comprehensive maintenance and operations business process reengineering (BPR) effort in 1995. This effort laid the groundwork for what is now widely known as Transportation Asset Management. Based on recommendations from the BPR effort, VDOT initiated the development of infrastructure decision-support systems and a large data collection program, referred to as the Inventory and Condition Assessment System (ICAS). |
