Abstract:

Progress has been made over the past decade in horizontal integration of the design phase work flow. The real opportunity exists in the vertical integration across the entire life cycle, including planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and retirement of transportation facilities. Automation technology has advanced significantly, making this both technologically possible and affordable. Construction costs have accelerated and budgets have decreased, necessitating a renewed effort in extending the lives of those facilities which already exist. Emphasis on facility management, as precipitated by ISTEA, has encouraged DOTs to better plan their maintenance expenditures. New focus on intermodal systems, safety management, and advanced transportation technologies have increased the demand for information previously soloed in individual divisions. The facility life cycle approach to information integration can help satisfy this need, resulting in more efficient and effective decision making.
