• Abstract:
  Data integration is a fundamental requirement for Transportation Asset Management, a strategic approach to maximizing the benefits from resources used to maintain, operate and expand the transportation infrastructure. The goal of data integration is to consolidate or link the data that exist in separate files or database systems so they can be used to make decisions within and across asset types. States and local agencies know that without an integrated set of data they can never make strategic and comprehensive transportation investment decisions. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Asset Management has made data integration a priority for its research, development and deployment programs. The Office has been delivering an array of products and materials to inform transportation agencies about the strategies and benefits of data integration, and providing technical support to help those agencies with their data integration initiatives particularly in overcoming the impediments. One of the products identified as highly valuable to Asset Management practitioners is a state-of-the-practice synthesis of data integration initiatives across the country. This report contains a review and synthesis of data integration practices among transportation agencies at the State and local levels. While it does not include all data integration initiatives across the country, it provides a broad picture of the state-of-the practice and a compelling basis for detailed case studies.
