Having data is the key. If there are 4,400 miles of asphalt roadway in the county, average weather, traffic weight and volume data is available, and road surface lifespan is known, managers can predict deterioration rates. Replacement can then be scheduled and budgeted. Pretty simple. The key is a focus on the future – and data that allows probability analysis and predictability. It is a learned skill and an earned perspective.
