Challenge	The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) was managing over 80,000 centerline miles of roads that support more than 500,000,000 daily vehicle miles traveled. The TxDOT pavement program is very large, and it’s growing rapidly to accommodate a fast-growing state population. Beyond the sheer size of its pavement program, TxDOT also faced the challenge of completing the migration from an environment comprised of four standalone applications to a new, comprehensive PMS in a very short time frame. Additional challenges included the need to develop a new Geographic Information System (GIS) module and to train the staff of numerous statewide districts on how to most effectively use the new PMS.

About Customer	The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is a government agency in the U.S. state of Texas. TxDOT is responsible for maintaining 80,000 miles of road and for supporting aviation, rail, and public transportation across the state. TxDOT and its 11,000 employees are committed to working with others to provide safe and reliable transportation solutions for Texas by maintaining a safe system, addressing congestion, connecting Texas communities, and being a Best in Class state agency. The department's goals for the new Pavement Management System (PMS) implementation were to optimize the impact of maintenance and rehabilitation funds, standardize reporting to external stakeholders, enhance internal spatial reporting capabilities for pavement management data, and broaden the system’s customer base.

Solution	TxDOT implemented the AgileAssets Pavement Analyst (PMS) to serve as the department’s new, modern PMS. The key components of the PMS implementation included delivery via a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, which makes the system accessible to TxDOT staff via web browser on desktop PCs, laptops, or mobile devices such as tablets. The system was deployed as a comprehensive system that includes an enterprise-class database, graphical reporting, a visual project-editing tool, and GIS integration. The system also has advanced analytical capabilities that support multiyear, multi-constraint analysis and the ability to turn analysis into work plans. Robust reporting tools were also included that support the ability to answer questions from external stakeholders regarding funding needs, performance measures, and project selections.
