Abstract:

The purpose of asset management is to meet life cycle performance goals through the management of assets in the most cost-effective manner. In developing risk-based, asset management plans for the National Highway System, states are encouraged to include all infrastructure assets within the right-of-way corridor in the plan, not just bridges and pavements. Therefore, the goal of a risk-based asset management plan should be to improve or preserve the condition of all assets and the performance of the system.
