INDOT maintains

> 30,000 lane miles of highwayEarth circumference ~ 24,900 Miles

> 5,000 large structures

Many thousands of assetsAbove, below, beside, & in the roadway



Why do we need to maintain?

Accountability needs ?

• Belief that we INDOT need to improve• Implemented statewide performance metrics.

– Progressively establish the benchmark.– Monitor “How are we doing?”

• Performance improvement– Celebrate, and raise the bar

• Performance deterioration– Analyze and improve

– Deploy resources to address deficiencies



Deployment

• Two teams ( North, South )

• Each team = 1 driver, 1 collector– Interchangeable roles

• Interstate travel requires extra safety

• State & US routes traveled at will

• Daily travel log kept



Measurements• Periodically switch teammates, goal subjective

consistency• Detailed manual. Identification / classification• Drive all highways annually (in both directions)

• Record observed deficiencies and non-deficiencies.

1 exception is sign deficiency

scored as # of defects per mile. (truly Poisson)

– If new day then begin new collection object– If same day then use saved collection object

– Load last default settings (position, route, odometer..)

• ArcPad Close– Save default settings– Save collection object



Lessons learned

• Post process data to drive administrative attribute values.– Area based

District, sub-district

– Linear basedRoute type and number



Lessons learned

• Confirm completion of field data upload to server prior to post processing.– Verbal confirmation with MQS coordinator

Alleviates the need to gather missing pieces later
