About The Customer
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is one of the largest transportation agencies in the United States. It manages the nation’s largest state-owned road network, which includes 200,000 lane miles of roadways supporting more than 500,000,000 daily vehicle miles traveled across 254 counties. The agency employs 12,000 people and operates in 25 geographical districts. In 2011, TxDOT began using AgileAssets® Maintenance Manager™ as its maintenance management system of record. Five years later, the agency moved to advance its asset management practices even further by deploying a state-of-the-art PMS, AgileAssets® Pavement Analyst™.
The Challenge
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) manages a vast network of roadways across 254 counties. In 2011, TxDOT began using AgileAssets® Maintenance Manager™ as its maintenance management system of record. Five years later, the agency moved to advance its asset management practices even further by deploying a state-of-the-art PMS, AgileAssets® Pavement Analyst™. However, these two solutions were implemented as separate systems, leading to a lack of data sharing between pavement management and maintenance management functions. The pavement management staff often lacked up-to-date information about pavement work history and work type. Efficiency lagged due to a lack of coordination between recommended work plans and actual maintenance projects.
The Solution
TxDOT integrated their separately deployed AgileAssets applications, Pavement Analyst™ and Maintenance Manager™. This integration enables the PMS to import the MMS data directly— tracking pavement maintenance activities and delivering ongoing visibility to both the pavement and maintenance teams. The pavement team can now import preselected roadway maintenance projects into their 4-year pavement management plans. The team can then prioritize other roads for treatment, or delay treatment on the roads where maintenance has been scheduled and will be sufficient to extend service life. The maintenance team can proceed confidently on the projects in the 4-year plan, knowing that preventive maintenance activities will not be superseded by rehabilitation projects on the same areas. The maintenance team can use the PMS to inform the planning of future maintenance work in areas not already covered by the 4-year plan.
Operational Impact
  • Data now flows smoothly from the MMS to the PMS and back again, continuously updating the relevant teams.
  • Pavement Analyst™ displays all maintenance activities in tables or maps, and easily generates maps for pavement surface age based on previous maintenance and construction records.
  • Using MMS data, Pavement Analyst™ can differentiate between sealed and unsealed cracks, then generate work requests for the recommended treatments.
  • The maintenance team can access the work requests and generate work orders in the MMS for crews to perform the needed repairs.
  • TxDOT’s integrated solution also supports better strategic planning. When the pavement team develops 4-year pavement management plans, these plans are coordinated with maintenance activities, projects, and related costs.
