NCHRP Report 800: Successful Practices in Geographic Information Systems–Based Asset Management
Although many transportation agencies have applied geographic information systems (GIS) for transportation asset management (TAM), many capabilities are yet unexplored. National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 800 is an implementation guide that offers a series of tools for assessing GIS capabilities, evaluating potential improvements, and addressing the barriers to implementation. It distinguishes three essential GIS capabilities for each of the asset management business processes: information integration, analysis, and communication and it defines a path for implementation maturity in each area. A step-by-step process for examining the potential return-on-investment (ROI) from GIS-TAM improvements is provided along with examples of studies documenting positive ROI. The report presents a business case for investing in GIS technologies and supplies practitioners with information about lessons learned from current practice, approaches to evaluating the benefits from GIS technologies, and strategies for effectively applying GIS technologies in TAM.
