The SHA Fiscal Year 2004- 2007 Business Plan contemplates six general goals to improve the highway system. Goal 3 in the Business Plan deals directly with the maintenance and quality of the highway system. The SHA has recognized the lack of a structured and consistent decision making process to help meet the goals established in the Business Plan. The SHA developed an asset management implementation plan that includes a Pilot Study to evaluate, assess and identify the kind of inventory system (automated technology or manual survey) that may be most suitable for the SHA. Two companies capable of performing automated video data collection and the SHA Office of Maintenance (OOM) were selected to inventory roadside assets including point and linear maintenance features selected based on the objectives of the Business Plan. The SHA designated Applied Research Associates, Inc (ARA) to compare and evaluate the automated systems and the OOM survey, as well as to identify strategic points to help recognize a cost-effective system or combination of systems for the SHA. The findings and recommendations from this Pilot Study are included in this report. |
