Asset Management GASB 34 Compliance - Phase III (HYDRA+)

The development and deployment of the Highway Yearly Data Reduction and Analysis (HYDRA+) system provides a pavement condition asset management tool for the Alabama Department of Transportation. This implementation of HYDRA+ provides: (1) Data integrity modules designed to monitor the integrity of data received, generate exception reports for potentially invalid data, permit administrator changes to the data, support automated and manual data input, and generate a transaction log recording alterations to data; (2) A set of budget calculator tools designed to provide estimated future budgets and target conditions; (3) Extension of the database to provide overlay-centric query and reporting capabilities; (4) Generation of refined Preliminary Prioritization Reports and ad-hoc reports, given static yearly routes and overlay tables; (5) Ad hoc reporting through Crystal Reports™; (6) Process and numerical verification for 2003 and 2004 GASB34 condition ratings for the network-wide flexible pavement system, including meetings with State Auditors; and (7) Knowledge Transfer for the resulting pavement management system (HYDRA+).
