FHWA has been working with AASHTO, TRB and other partners to develop and advance asset management. The concept of asset management that has emerged is very broad and represents a set of business principles for making more effective resource allocation decisions. While much of the early application of asset management principles focused on infrastructure preservation activities, the principles apply equally to all functions and the entire life cycle of decisionmaking from defining policy objectives to planning, programming, budgeting, program and project development and design, operations, construction, maintenance, and system monitoring. In discussing this view of asset management with a wide variety of individuals across FHWAs program offices, the terms total performance management and total system management were used to describe the broad concept of asset management that currentlyexists. |
