Transportation asset management delivers efficient and cost-effective investment decisions to support transportation infrastructure and system usage performance measured in economic, social, health, and environmental terms. It can be applied at national, state, and local levels. This distinctive book addresses asset management for multimodal transportation, taking account of system component interdependency, integration, and risk and uncertainty. It sets out rigorous quantitative and qualitative methods for addressing system goals, performance measures, and needs; data collection and management; performance modeling; project evaluation, selection, and trade-off analysis; innovative financing; and institutional issues. It applies as easily to static traffic and time-dependent or dynamic traffic which exists on a more local level. It is written for transportation planners, engineers, and academia, as well as a growing number of graduate students taking transportation asset management courses.

"TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 736: Resource Allocation Logic Framework to Meet Highway Asset Preservation presents a logic framework for allocating limited highway asset preservation funds among competing demands in order to help maximize system performance. The report also presents a spreadsheet-based computational tool that implements the framework. Prototypical application scenarios and case-study examples illustrate how transportation agency staff may use the framework to assist resource allocation decision making"--Publication information.
