Desired ImprovementsDesired Improvements

We want our new system to have:

• A relationship between pavement and maintenance

• Data available to everyone• Data available to everyone

• Repeatable, reliable analysis results

• Maximization of cost-to-benefit ratio

The new TAMS systemThe new TAMS system

• Software purchased from AgileAssets

• Used in several surrounding states (Montana, Oregon, Utah)

• ITD purchased two modules: Pavement and • ITD purchased two modules: Pavement and Maintenance management

• More modules being considered:

• Safety

• Fleet Management

The new TAMS systemThe new TAMS system

TAMS has:

• Network Scenario Analysis

• Pavement Performance Analysis

• Pavement Management Database • Pavement Management Database

• Graphing, Reporting, and GIS Maps

Network Scenario AnalysisNetwork Scenario Analysis

Can answer commonly asked questions such as:

• If I add $20 million dollars into a certain funding pot, how much better will the pavement deficiency be?be?

• How much should we spend

to get to a deficiency of 15%?

Pavement Performance Pavement Performance AnalysisAnalysis

Can answer commonly asked questions such as:

• How rapidly will my new overlay deteriorate?

• What is the best recommended project for the • What is the best recommended project for the deterioration I am witnessing?
