Maryland’s Vision For Asset Management
Our Vision is to have fully integrated program
coordinated through a GIS based system and
comprehensive documented plans that lay out
sustainable practices and adaptation to climate
change.
Flooding on SHA Maintained Network
Anticipated Changes
Highway Systems & Engineering must Adapt Assets for:
 Increased Temperature
 Increased Precipitation in Spring Months
 More days over 100 degrees F in Summer Months
 Variety of forms of precipitation
 Increased Storm Frequency & Intensity
 Stronger Hurricanes
 Storm surge
 Increased 100-Year Event Frequency
 Sea-level Rise
Vulnerable Land in Dorchester County Maryland
5 ft. feet of Sea-Level Rise
SHA’s Current Asset Management Programs
 Bridge-POINTS
 Stores inventory and condition of structures

Used for funding optimization
 Structurally Deficient (SD) First, Soon to SD next
 Minor Rehabilitations to extend life of asset
 Painting , steel and concrete repairs
 Pavement –Pavement Management System
 Annual pavement condition assessment
 Helps estimate maintenance requirements
 Optimization routine for best pavement funding levels
 Drainage-HYInfo 3
 Inventory and condition to establish needs
 Assess condition first, funding second
 Most assets beyond service life
Asset Data Warehouse (ADW)
Asset Data Warehouse (ADW)
 Vision
 Have all assets integrated into one system and serve as the
official asset inventory
 Goals
 Centralized GIS database
 Easy-to-use toolset for maintenance of asset information
 Integrated map for editing and displaying asset data
 Ability to interface with established asset management and
maintenance management systems
 Comprehensive reporting capabilities
 Flexible design to accept new asset data sets
 Integrate within a Maryland’s Enterprise GIS System
Asset Data Warehouse (ADW)
 Assets
 Highway Lighting



Poles
Structures
Panel
 Traffic Barriers
 Signage (Installation and Sign panels)
 Future Assets Need Based


No DATA
DATA
 Initial Data Collection
 Field Crews using GPS units
 In-house Crews using the Visidata, collected by our ARAN vehicle
and the Surveyor software package
Asset Data Warehouse (ADW)
 Location Selection Manager
 Select assets by form or by map
 Presents Assets by Route
 Features
 Attributes
 Feature Manager
 Presents all Asset Features associated to the Selected Route in
the Location Selection Manager
 Presents Assets by Mile Point
 When user clicks on a record in the Feature Manager, the map
will autozoom
Asset Data Warehouse (ADW)
 Attribute Information Manager
 For the record selected in the Feature Manager, Information can
be updated / modified, and then Saved
 Editing Tools Available in Asset Editor
 Add – Adds either a new Pole, Structure or Panel feature with
attributes to the Lighting database
 Move – Adjust the position of an existing asset feature to a new
location on the map
 Delete – Remove a feature from the database
 Update Location – Change the Route information associated to
the feature
Asset Data Warehouse (ADW)
 Future Enhancements
 Reporting Module


Canned Reports
Customized Reports
 Customized Queries
 Integration with Established Systems
 Maintenance Records
 Condition Assessments
 Mobile Applications
Enterprise GIS System (eGIS)
The Enterprise GIS System Adds Value to Asset Management
 Promotes Collaboration
 Integrate databases of data
rich offices (Bridge, Drainage,
Pavement)
 Data owners maintain
stewardship
 Promotes Dissemination
 Reach large GIS customer
database
 No GIS software license
required by desktop users
 Promotes Coordination
 Sustainable data and system
maintenance
 Data driven decisions in realtime

Coordinate with Pavement on upcoming Projects
AT MD 45 and MD 139: Resurfacing Project to start FY13
Review Crash Data
Several Severe Crashes on MD 45 on this route segment; 2 at the intersection:
Initiate Traffic Study
Are the Sidewalks and Driveway Crossing Compliant
2 Sidewalks Non-Compliant, 2 Missing Sidewalks, 5 Driveway Crossings Not
Compliant: Utilize Resurfacing Project to Make Compliant
Review Assets and Climate Change
