Performance-Based Maintenance Contracts (PBMC) for highways is gradually becoming an appealing contractual mechanism for transferring the maintenance activities, traditionally undertaken by the public sector, to private entities. Amplified financial pressures on governments, demands for improved service levels, and the operational efficiency offered by private entities, all create a strong business case for PBMC. This book introduces an "Integrated Highway Asset Management System," which extends the standard functionality of traditional pavement management systems to cover specific contractual requirements of PBMC. The system is designed to analyze both network-level and project-level asset management decisions. Defect-specific pavement deterioration models are developed using multivariate regression. Stochastic network-level deterioration models are developed using markov-chains. Life cycle costing models are developed to cover specific financial obligations in PBMC such as; penalties & incentives, in addition to traditional M&R expenditures. Optimization modules are used to trade-off various decision scenarios that are beneficial to both maintenance contractors and road agencies.

​Engineering and infrastructure assets maintain the lifeline of economies. It is, therefore, critical to manage these assets in such a way that they provide a consistent level of service throughout their lifecycle. Management of asset lifecycle, however, is information intensive and utilises a plethora of information systems. The role of theses systems in asset management is much more profound. It extends beyond the organizational boundaries and addresses business relationships with external stakeholders to deliver enhanced level of business outcomes. In doing so information systems are not only required to translate business strategic considerations into action, but are also expected to produce learnings and feedback that informs business strategy and aids in strategic reorientation.
