Abstract
This highly interactive workshop is aimed at exploring how emerging and established technologies can help state departments of transportation (DOTs) make more informed decisions in the management of transportation assets. As data-driven processes and technological advancements continue to evolve, state DOTs must manage an ever-growing volume and complexity of information. While these data present significant opportunities to enhance decision-making, DOTs face ongoing challenges related to data quality, integration, accessibility, and timeliness.
The University of Kentucky team is leading NCHRP Project 23-41, which aims to develop a practical guidebook to support state DOTs in making informed decisions about implementing both emerging and established technologies for capturing and updating transportation asset data. This includes data related to asset inventory, condition, attributes, metadata, and geometry.
To support the development of this guidebook, the team is seeking input from state DOTs and relevant stakeholders regarding their current technologies, asset management practices, needs, and pain points. This workshop will present the proposed structure of the guidebook for initial feedback and guide participants through a series of structured activities to share their experiences and challenges.
