| PMS Analysis continues |
1:00 |
| Demo by the Host Agency: Pavement Management System and its Various functions |
2:00 |
| It would be ideal to go through a simulated complete cycle - loading data to system;
running needs analysis; optimization, developing candidate list of projects; adjusting
projects due to schedule, political influences; what-if scenarios and forecasting
conditions; graphics and reporting, etc. |

effectiveness)
|
1:45 |
| Break |
2:15 |
Open Discussion
Possible topics
- What was the implementation procedure like? Were there many modifications
and customization required, such as to input and output data file formats and
links to existing systems?
- Procurement of the System
- What were the vendor responsibilities, and what tasks were performed by the
DOT (such as developing models, identifying treatment trigger levels)
- Is the software run only at the central office, or does each regional office use the
system to develop and manage their pavement programs? Is the system used at
the residency/county level? How many users? Are the MPO's involved?
- How was the experience with training and technical support from vendor? What
was the training strategy and effort?
- What level and number of staff are required to operate and maintain the system
(technician, administrative type, engineer, computer expert....)?
- Does the PMS include other assets? How does your PMS tie into other assets?
- After all the dust settled, does the system do what they need it to do?
