Similar to many government agencies nationwide, the City of Overland Park, Kansas is faced with a growing infrastructure and a decrease in available funding for maintenance. Since the advent of pavement management systems in the 1980s, the City has collected vast amounts of information related to the condition of local roadways. While the information provides staff with the current and historical conditions of the street network, it remains difficult to convey to the Governing Body what ramifications today's decisions will have on tomorrows funding requirements. Public Works staff was tasked with developing long-term modeling software to accurately predict street conditions and summarize the information in a succinct format for presentation to decision makers. As a result of this directive, new architecture was applied to the existing pavement management software and new reporting features were developed. The new methodology also included implementation of a GPS enabled data collection device used on high-volume arterial roadways.
