6th National Conference on Transportation Asset Management

摘要

More than 250 attendees benefited from the technical presentations and facilitated discussions conducted at the 6th National Conference on Transportation Asset Management, which was held November 1-3, 2005, in Kansas City, Missouri. The conference was organized by the Transportation Research Board (TRB), supported by FHWA, and cosponsored by AASHTO, the Midwest Transportation Consortium, and the National Association of County Engineers (NACE). Attendees from state, federal, and local governments were represented as were participants from private industry, trade associations, and universities. The conference was held in conjunction with the 1st National Conference on Roadway Pavement Preservation and provided an opportunity for asset management, maintenance, and other transportation practitioners to share information, acquire new skills, and network with other professionals in this field. The opening sessions were jointly sponsored by both conferences, featuring presentations highlighting the links between pavement preservation and asset management. These sessions cited pavement preservation programs as an excellent example of applied asset management concepts and illustrated how such programs make cost-effective use of available funds with treatments that provide an improved level of service, fewer disruptions to the traveling public, and improved safety characteristics.
