Integrated Infrastructure Management Systems: Small Urban Area’s Experience

Abstract

Earlier management systems were typically developed to manage individual components of the transportation system. More recently, these systems have been evolving into integrated infrastructure management systems (IIMSs) that simultaneously consider the needs of the different components of the entire transportation system. This paper describes the preliminary experience of a small urban area, located in northwestern Vermont, with the development of a framework for an IIMS. The framework, which is designed to manage the needs of six different components of the transportation system, is based on the use of available
