Description
The task of managing highway infrastructure assets is more critical than ever. This book examines the associated challenges and opportunities and provides a logical, consistent and integrated approach for highway infrastructure asset management using systematic procedures that combine engineering principles with sound business practices and economic theory. It presents a methodology for highway agencies to combine several management systems (pavement, bridge, congestion, safety, etc.) into a single integrated system, enabling managers to carry out coordinated management tasks across all assets.
