“…Similarly defined AM frameworks can be found in the literature; in Wittwer et al (2002), condition assessment and trade-off analysis are included in the basic cycle of an AM framework (physical condition and asset performance as descriptors of the effectiveness of service delivery are often used hand in hand), whereas Dornan (2002) goes into further detail in asset renewal/replacement analysis methods (life-cycle cost, cost-effectiveness analysis or equivalent annual cost) and asset disposal policies. In practice, even though different definitions can be found, an AMS is the combination of engineering and business practices to support decision making at the strategic, network and project levels; in other words, it is a way of doing business by adopting the right procedures to achieve results cost effectively with the limitation of sparse resources (Cambridge Systematics et al, 2006;Godau, 1999).…”

This paper conceptualises and presents a number of asset management building blocks required to establish holistic management for highway filter drains in the UK roads network. This is accomplished by evaluating current maintenance and management thinking and by identifying how existing strategies are lacking and potentially unsustainable. A condition assessment regime is hence described, tied to a measure of filter drain level of service (drainability) and an asset-specific ageing/renewal model that adopts six discreet condition bands is proposed. For this model to hold true, the Markov process is assumed to represent cumulative damage in a network. Drawing from relevant asset management concepts, a decision support tool to inform and optimise managerial decisions in respect to maintenance planning and resources allocation is also described.

“…The focus was on the sharing of ideas and asset management implementation efforts being undertaken around the country. Many attendees, including members of the AASHTO TAM and the TRB Asset Management Task Force, participated in a discussion identifying and developing an asset management research agenda of needs to be addressed in both the short and long term (Wittwer, Bittner, & Switzer, 2002).…”

As interest in asset management among public sector organizations has grown over the past decade, a number of professional and government organizations have attempted to define asset management and develop research agendas in an effort to focus the practice and implementation of asset management. This article synthesizes these research initiatives to develop a research road map for transportation asset management. This road map is intended to identify research needs and provide significant milestones along the way. The road map includes specific projects over a 15-year period in the areas of (a) policy goals and objectives and performance measures, (b) planning and programming, (c) program delivery, and (d)systems monitoring and performance results. Ultimately this research program aims to facilitate the widespread adoption of the asset management concept and the continued enhancement of tools and processes.
