Corporate knowledge is recognized as a core asset of every organization. The true value of such knowledge is determined by how effectively it can be captured, transferred, and then applied throughout the organization. However, access to valuable knowledge may be completely lost upon the retirement of highly experienced employees. Forensic pavement analysis is a core function of every department of transportation. Excellence in this technical area provides for selection of the most appropriate and cost-effective rehabilitation options, which in turn allow significant annual savings to the department in rehabilitation and labor costs. Capturing and disseminating corporate forensic pavement knowledge will help ensure exceptional performance both technically and financially well into the future. This paper describes the development of a Knowledge Management System (KMS) which effectively captures essential knowledge in the forensic pavement area and places it within TxDOT's Learning Content Management System (LCMS). Knowledge within the KMS is easily and quickly accessible, which increases value and practicality for users in the districts and divisions alike.
