It provides participants with techniques and basic tools to help them manage their road networks in a more cost effective manner. Focusing on Pavement Management, specific topics include: The Concepts of Asset Management as they Apply to Local Agencies The Data You Really Need, and What You Don’t How to Build an Inventory (or have someone else build it for you) The Language of Pavement Pavement Assessment Methods, including PASER for Asphalt The Mix of Fixes Analysis and Outputs Predicting Future Condition (yes, even local agencies can do future prediction) Documentation of Pre-Disaster Pavement ConditionThe course contains a portion of the topics covered in the instructor’s online TAM and PASER training courses being acquired by Louisiana LTAP for a limited number of local agencies, as part of ongoing training and more advanced asset management technical support in coming months. Training tools include spreadsheet templates to help with inventory and decision-making processes, as well as ongoing support from the instructor in a question and answer format. The course also covers a low cost method that any local agency can use to document pre-disaster pavement condition, documentation that can be then used in emergency relief applications. The course will provide participants with the introductory skills for explaining TAM concepts to their agency managers and elected officials. This course will also help road personnel decide if they are interested and eligible to participate in the follow-up online training through LTAP.
