Challenge	The City of Austin Public Works Department was faced with the challenge of managing their extensive road network, which includes 7,582 lane miles of pavement and 450 bridges, serving nearly a million city residents. The city's primary goal was to increase resource productivity and maximize pavement life at the lowest cost to taxpayers. The annual cost of maintaining the city’s infrastructure was approximately $12M for capital improvement projects, $13M for street preventative maintenance treatments, and $6M for routine roadway repairs like fixing potholes. The city planners needed a system that would allow them to make more informed, data-driven decisions on when, where, and how to tackle strategic and operational challenges, thereby achieving the highest possible return on their road network investments.
