Deighton to provide Strategic Asset Management solutions to North Dakota DOT

 

Deighton is pleased to announce it has been selected to provide Strategic Asset Management solutions to the State of North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT).  NDDOT has been using dTIMS CT for pavement management since 1989 and was looking for a software solution to perform a strategic trade off analysis between the pavement management results in dTIMS CT and the bridge management results from PONTIS™. 

 

NDDOT selected dTIMS CT to be used as the budget trade off tool and can now utilize the dTIMS CT Strategic Analysis Module and the dTIMS CT Cross Asset Analysis and Optimization module to make trade off decisions between pavement assets and bridge assets as well as trade off decisions between different functional classes and districts within each asset. 

 

The dTIMS CT Strategic Analysis Module allows users to graphically adjust budget scenarios for various assets and to immediately visualize the impact on the projected condition of those assets over time.  Each of the budget scenarios are based upon actual programs with treatments, benefits and costs and not just projections.  Gone is the risk of having diluted strategic information without detailed substantive backup information.

 

The dTIMS CT Cross Asset Analysis and Optimization module allows users to perform a true cross asset analysis and optimization where a true optimized distribution of resources is developed based on available funding.  The assets included within the Cross Asset Analysis and Optimization are assigned a minimum budget and then a discretionary budget is defined.  The discretionary funds are distributed to the assets based on a dTIMS CT optimization using benefits and costs.

 

The implementation project will be completed by October, 2009.
