Processes and techniques for managing the preservation and expansion of highway transportation facilities such as pavements, bridges, and so forth, as well as system usage. Five component management systems are first examined: pavements, bridges, roadway maintenance, safety, and congestion. Finally, the methodology for overall transportation asset management is discussed. The primary emphasis is on data collection, life-cycle cost analysis, priority setting and optimization, program development strategies, risk and uncertainty modeling, and institutional issues. 3. 000 Credit Hours 3. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Doctoral, Graduate Business, Graduate, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Armour College of Engineering College Civil Archl Environ Engrg Department
