Asset Management Methodology / Condition
The project objective is to explore development of asset inventories for asset management at a transit urban rail system. The product will specifically consider how urban rail transit agencies can leverage data in their maintenance management systems to build asset inventories for higher-level analysis to optimize investments in urban rail capital assets. Researchers will consider how hierarchical structures can be designed to aggregate detailed urban rail asset lists into whole-vehicle and system-level information and how maintenance data and life-cycle information can be used to infer the condition of these aggregated entities for purposes of informing reinvestment strategies. Recommended using SmartDraw to conduct a comprehensive inventory/photographs of transit assets as well as developing hierarchical relationships. SmartDraw lays out information in a diagram type easily understood by any level of employee. Customizing SmartDraw per the request of a department would be a simple task to initiate after receiving an outline list of requirements. Many transit agencies have their own set of procedures/processes for utilizing their data that may not involve entry into a software tool
