• Abstract:
  There is an increasing emphasis on shifting asset management practices toward cradle-to-cradle approaches (as opposed to cradle-to-grave approaches), where assets are not discarded at the end of their useful life but instead are consistently and systematically transformed into newer assets of equal or greater value. Such a continuous upgrade of the system, however, is only possible through thorough performance monitoring and service life assessments at various time intervals, for which clear information requirements first need to be established. Utilities in the rights-of-way pose unique challenges as many are owned and maintained by other parties, yet they have significant effects on roadway element life-cycle performance. Additionally, state transportation agencies (STAs) find themselves owning and maintaining an increasing array of infrastructure, such as drainage, traffic control, lighting, and visual monitoring systems, for which long-term asset performance is desired. Integrating data from legacy utilities owned by multiple parties with newly installed utilities as part of a highway or utility project is a step toward understanding these interrelated systems and their mutual effects on STA assets.
