However, a strictly condition-based approach may neglect the economic and safety criticality of specific routes. This presentation proposes a multi-variable evaluation framework for counties, cities, and towns. I will explore methods for overlaying industrial data—specifically for heavy-haul sectors like logging, masonry, and agriculture—to identify and fortify the "economic lifelines" that sustain local revenue. Furthermore, I will address the necessity of resiliency planning within the AMP. By integrating hydraulic data and flood-prone area mapping, agencies can ensure that routes serving hospitals and first responders remain passable during and after storms. Attendees will learn how to weigh these critical factors alongside traditional pavement data to create a more strategic Asset Management Plan. ]]> Jeremy Hunter Madison County, Indiana - A Case Study in Asset Management Planninghttps://docs.lib.purdue.edu/ltam/2025/presentations/2https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/ltam/2025/presentations/2 Tue, 29 Apr 2025 08:45:00 PDT Many local governments are developing asset management plans to qualify for Community Crossings funding, however, the staff at Madison County Engineering Team had a goal to dive deeper and gain a thorough understanding of the funding gap that exists for them to achieve the desired level of service on their transportation system. Using AI for data collection and a unique pavement preservation optimization tool, the County partnered with Avenew, Inc. to identify their system needs and develop holistic approach to manage their assets. ]]> Craig M.
