After participating in this course, you will be able to:

• Gain insight into the history and principles of asset management.
• Learn to assess pavement conditions and understand the benefits and costs of evaluating roadway infrastructure.
• Develop skills for defining scope, data needs, and testing frequency for pavement evaluation.
• Understand the use of specialized equipment and performance models for predicting future asset conditions.
• Master the use of asset condition dashboards and best practices in asset management.

Description
The need to preserve our municipal roadway pavement infrastructure is paramount to ensuring the viability of the transportation of people and goods. This requires ever-increasing investments because the road infrastructure is typically the most valuable asset owned by public agencies. The consequence of the lack of systematic maintenance and renewal is accelerated deterioration of the asset condition, which then requires a more expensive treatment to return the asset to a serviceable condition. 

This webinar provides an understanding of the basics of pavement condition evaluation, what the data means, and how it can be used to improve pavement maintenance and rehabilitation decision-making. Timely and appropriate intervention can lead to longer pavement life and higher quality experience for the users of our infrastructure and, when used as an effective part of asset management, reduce the overall life-cycle cost of the roadway network.
