Abstract: The objective of this research effort was to assist the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) Office of Capital Investment Strategies (CIS) in developing an asset management decision support model for use in its resource allocation decisions. This effort both integrates with and builds off of NJDOT’s existing asset management program. Best practices in asset management were first reviewed followed by an assessment of asset management systems currently in place at NJDOT. These findings helped the research team formulate an appropriate decision support model that would inform NJDOT’s project prioritization strategy and assist NJDOT in its cross-asset resource allocation decisions. The result of this research effort is an asset management decision support model that calculates the utility for a user-specified project. The model specifies how NJDOT should use asset management data and systems to support integrated high-level resource allocation decisions and also focuses on how to use available data to prioritize identified problems (also termed “candidate projects” or “project alternatives” in this report), as well as planned projects.
