Practices for Capturing and Integrating Cost Data in Maintenance Management Systems
State departments of transportation (DOTs) face considerable challenges in implementing, enhancing,
or replacing their existing maintenance management systems (MMSs). These processes are not only
expensive and time-consuming but also involve considerable risk, because these systems have
usually been in place for many years.
NCHRP Synthesis 629: Practices for Capturing and Integrating Cost Data in Maintenance Management Systems,
from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program,
documents current DOT practice for capturing maintenance costs in an MMS, including a look at the level
of detail captured, the quality of the data, the level of integration with
other agency systems, and the operational and business value of the data.
