Sandy, UT, USA— Pavement management at the City of El Paso, Texas, is easier and more efficient today than ever before announced Azteca Systems, Inc., the provider of GIS-centric management solutions. The City successfully implemented a GIS-centric pavement management solution, built around ESRI’s ArcGIS, Cityworks, and MicroPAVER. The solution provides the City with a comprehensive, intuitive solution for multi-year pavement management.
With a population of 700,000, El Paso has more than 3,300 miles of paved streets and $2.5 billion invested in pavement alone. To preserve such an investment, the City sought the most for their dollar in managing these assets. Calling this project the Traffic Management Information System (TMIS), ESRI led the project with assistance from Transmap and Azteca Systems.
Transmap collected the field data including pavement distresses which were loaded into MicroPAVER, a pavement management software, to calculate Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of roads and recommend maintenance activities. Cityworks is used to manage, schedule, and track the resulting work. Information is passed between Cityworks and MicroPAVER through an interface which imports the asset information from Cityworks and the geodatabase into the MicroPAVER database and updates the geodatabase Condition field with the most current PCIs so that they can be displayed on the map.
Pavement analysis and reporting is an ongoing process from which the City benefits with timely, accurate information – predicting where, when, and which streets can be repaired or may be more cost-effective to replace, both now and in the future.
