Title:

Maintenance and Operations of Transportation Facilities: 2005 Strategic Vision

Abstract:

This publication contains an update of a paper prepared by members of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Maintenance and Operations Management Committee in 1999 as part of TRB's Millennium Papers (www4.trb.org/trb/onlinepubs.nsf/web/millenium_papers) to respond to rapid changes in the state of the art and practice in the field of maintenance and to present their perspectives on future directions in light of these changes. The document provides a thoughtful and perceptive review prepared by experts fully engaged in advancing the way the traveling public is served and provides a comprehensive view of transportation maintenance. In this document, the members of TRB Maintenance and Operations Management Committee (AHD10) identify the major trends that affect maintenance; cite current and emerging innovations in management systems, technology, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS); and examine the key maintenance challenges of this century.
