Transportation agencies around the world are faced with long list of challenges. Some of the most pressing challenges are:

• Preserving the huge investments made in building transportation networks.
• Setting up maintenance priorities in an integrated manner.
• Best using the available funds in a cost-effective manner.
• Meeting the policy goals with respect to the desired level of performance. We believe that the best approach to overcome these challenges is to utilize an asset management approach in an integrated way. Transportation Asset management (TAM) is a set of tools or methods that can assist decision makers in finding cost-effective strategies for providing, evaluating, and maintaining assets in serviceable condition meeting the users expectations. Improve program quality and reduce short-and long-term costs are among the many benefits of implementing TAM. Equipped with state of the art tools and data collection equipment, ITAMSs staff provide unique blend of technology and experience to offer clients the best possible services. ITAMSs particular experience and expertise are evidenced by our long track record, professional credentials, and the more than three hundred technical publications authored by ITAMSs staff. Many of these papers have been selected for awards, such as “Best Practical Paper” by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) of the National Academy of Science, USA.

The challenge of preserving the huge investments made in building transportation networks. The challenge of setting up maintenance priorities in an integrated manner.

We believe that the best approach to overcome these challenges is to utilize an asset management approach in managing the transportation assets in integrated way. AASHTO defined asset management in its November 2002 Transportation Asset Management Guide as “a Strategic Approach… driven by policy goals and objectives and relies on systematic assessments of asset performance and cost in making decisions on future actions."
