3. Overview of Asset Management Program
Overall objective of asset management:
Meet desired performance standards in the most cost-effective way today and into the future
To effectively manage our transportation assets, we need:
Good information on what infrastructure assets we own and / or maintain
Good information on what condition these infrastructure assets are in
Data on how they are performing

4. Asset Data Warehouse Application
Goals of ADW project:
Easy-to-use toolset for
maintenance of asset information:
Lighting
Traffic Barriers
Signs
Rumble Strips
Line Striping
GAMS - Invasive Species
Park & Ride Lots
GAMS Field Tool (coming soon)
Raised Pavement Markings (coming soon)
Signals (coming soon)
Integrated map for editing and display of assets
Centralized GIS database, integrated within a secure application framework (eGIS), comprehensive reporting capabilities

6. GAMS Invasive Species - Overview
Statewide effort (10.4 million) to reduce/eliminate several invasive species that have overtaken edges of state owned ROW.
As part of Maryland’s Noxious Weed Control Law and SHA’s business plan
Manage 650 miles of roadway by Areas with invasive vegetation will be replanted
Pre-emptive maintenance rather then the more costly reactive maintenance – safety, environmental stewardship, sustainability, native vegetation, invasive species control
ADW Asset Editor provides:
Data repository
Maintenance activities
Survey information
Reports

7. GAMS - Assets Invasive Species Landscape Beds (future)
Forest Stands (future)
Wetland Delineations (future)
Wetlands/Stream Restoration (future)

9. Asset Data Warehouse - Security
Secure environment for maintaining asset data
Only users with editor privileges have the ability to add, update, or delete data
System recognizes users based on Windows’ sign-on

10. Interface Overview - Selection
Two Selection Methods:
Select by Form
Select by Map

11. Interface Overview - Selection by Map
Draw polygon on the map to select

12. Interface Overview - Results
Results Tab:
Presents assets by route
Features
Attributes
Selection tab is
accessible to
change selection
criteria

13. Interface Overview - Results
Attribute Information Manager:
For the record selected in the Feature Manager, information can be updated / modified and then saved
Attributes are displayed based upon the selected tab:
Installation tab
Signs (panels) tab

14. Primary Editing Functionality
Editing tools available in asset editor:
Add - adds feature with attributes
Move - adjust the position of an existing asset feature to a new location on the map
Delete - remove a feature from the database
Edit Shape
