Abstract:This project developed a computer system to assist Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LA DOTD) maintenance managers in the preparation of zero-based, needs-driven annual budget plans for routine maintenance. This includes pavement, roadside, bridge maintenance, traffic operations and assistance to traffic, and ferry operations. The budget plan provides estimates for labor, overhead, equipment, and supply costs as well as contract maintenance. The computer system provides management with ability to set planned service level targets for each maintenance function and to prioritize importance of both maintenance functions as well as use-based measures. It includes an optimization model that assists in allocating constrained financial resources among functions and districts based on these priorities and needs. It also includes a regression tool which can be used to automatically update the planning model based on recent historical data.
