Challenge	The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) manages one of the largest and most heavily traveled road networks in the United States, with 80,444 centerline miles of roadway and 54,180 bridges located in its 25 highway districts. The state sees 197.4 billion annual vehicle miles traveled (VMT) on state-owned highways. Maintaining statewide transportation assets and providing a high-quality road system are vital for the state’s economy and public safety. To contain the costs of managing its road network, TxDOT applies innovative asset lifecycle management strategies to preserve and restore the condition of roadway assets. Texas legislation requires that TxDOT annually provide the state’s Legislative Budget Board and the Governor with a detailed plan for the use of transportation funds. The plan must include pavement condition targets and a district-by-district analysis of how proposed maintenance spending will impact pavement scores. Read More
About Customer	The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is a government agency in the U.S. state of Texas. TxDOT is responsible for maintaining 80,444 centerline miles of roadways and inspecting 54,180 bridges located in its 25 highway districts. The state sees 197.4 billion annual vehicle miles traveled (VMT) on state-owned highways, making it not only the largest, but also one of the most heavily traveled networks in the United States. TxDOT's mission is to deliver a safe, reliable, and integrated transportation system that enables the movement of people and goods. The department is also responsible for planning and executing transportation and traffic management systems, developing transportation plans and programs, maintaining and enhancing the state's transportation system, and implementing transportation safety programs.

Solution	TxDOT uses the advanced analytical capabilities of AgileAssets® Pavement Analyst™, the state’s pavement management system (PMS) of record, to develop a 4-year pavement management plan and to update the plan during each year of its scope. Using predictive modeling, Pavement Analyst helps to forecast the future condition of pavements and to assess the impact of funds allocated to pavement projects. Relying on Pavement Analyst’s geographic information system (GIS) functionality and integration with multiple databases— including construction, maintenance, and crash data—TxDOT team members can map various combinations of projects, pavement condition scores, and traffic information to obtain comprehensive insights and identify planning options. With Pavement Analyst’s advanced analytics and reporting capabilities, TxDOT can generate robust, data-driven 4-year plans that meet legislative requirements, funding constraints, and departmental goals.
