2 Welcome FHWA and the AASHTO Sub-Committee on Asset Management are pleased to sponsor this webinar Sharing knowledge is a critical component of advancing asset management practice This webinar provides information from state DOT, private sector, and national-level research perspectives 2 Tradeoffs and Cross Asset Resource Allocation Cross asset resource allocation is a relatively new area of activity Few agencies currently implementing Standard practice still formative Implementation requires resources, commitment It is important to learn about the benefits and limitations that practitioners at the leading edge of implementation have observed Visit FHWA s Asset Management homepage to learn more: 3 2

3 Webinar Overview Today s presentation includes three perspectives on tradeoffs and cross asset resource allocation from those inside or working with agencies at the forefront of this emerging topic area We will hear about the experiences of transportation agencies already engaged in taking on these challenges We will also hear from presenters who have been supporting agencies in these efforts Presentations will highlight both successful approaches and some important lessons learned 4 Learning Objectives Building working knowledge of key concepts and definitions relevant to tradeoffs and cross asset resource allocation Understanding specific models applications of tradeoffs and cross asset resource allocation Beginning to apply this knowledge in order to answer: How can agencies apply cross asset resource allocation in their TAM programs What benefits can states expect by addressing tradeoffs and cross asset resource allocation in their TAM programs? What are the key lessons-learned for agencies seeking to integrate cross asset resource allocation as part of their TAM programs? SHARE LESSONS LEARNED, IDEAS, KNOWLEDGE!!! 5 3

17 10/12/16 MODA Swing Rating Swing Rating Procedure: 1. Assess how much value you would receive if you could swing each objective from its worst possible outcome to its best possible outcome 2. Rank criteria according to the swing in value when moving from the worst feasible outcome to the best 3. Weight criteria 4. Once you have weights for each objective, review them for consistency and validity MODA Swing Rating in Action 17

18 MODA Goal Areas and Criteria Table 3 CDOT Project Prioritization and Selection Common Criteria: Suggested Starting Point for Evaluations Staff Workshop Table 2 CDOT Project Prioritization and Selection Criteria and Performance Measure Library Goal Area and Criteria Relatively "Quantitative" Measure Relatively "Qualitative" Measure A. Safety 1. Fatalities reduced change in crash rate over x years, Existing crash rate converted to dollar measure 2. Serious injuries reduced change in crash rate over x years, converted to dollar measure 3. Property damage reduced change in crash rate over x years, converted to dollar measure 4a. Other considerations or Addresses a LOSS 3 or 4 location; safety measures measures such as >2 foot paved shoulders 4b. Other considerations or Consider ranking by need as well as potential for reduction in crashes. Need could measures be qualified by relative severity index, potential for safety improvement, etc. 4c. Other considerations or measures Consider evaluating by differing roadway types, etc. Do not try to compare/rank same across all types. 4d. Other considerations or Removes an at-grade rail crossing measures B. Maintaining the System 1. Pavement Drivability Life Index Model outputs improvement 2. Bridge rating improvement Model outputs Improvement in bridge-deck area that is Not Structurally Deficient Vertical clearance Load restrictions 3. Bridge historic significance Could be a yes/no 4. Age Extent to which asset is near or past design life 102 Candidate Criteria Identified Goal Area and Criteria Measurement Scale 1.

20 RISK BASED STRATEGIC INVESTMENT DECISIONS MARTIN GORDON AASHTO Webinar #23 - Trade-offs and Cross Asset Resource AASHTO Allocation Webinar #23 - Trade-offs and Cross Asset Resource Allocation Agenda Risk Initial Thoughts Slide 39 Strategic Decisions How To Allocate Funding With Risk Thoughts To Take Away 20

21 RISK INITIAL THOUGHTS Everyone is talking about it, Few are doing it, we all want to do it 41 Risk means different things to people. Employed at an operational, tactical and strategic level The equation is familiar C*L=Risk, the challenge lies in the detail Makes for very few good practice examples, despite the interest. 21

22 Slide 42 Risk Perception Factors We over-estimate with Dread Natural risks Children Novelty Publicity It directly affecting me When we don t trust the messenger We under-estimate when We have some control It is human-made risk We have choices There is a risk benefit trade-off When we trust the messenger Slide 43 The Problem How to allocate funds across multiple service areas and infrastructure portfolios? 22

23 10/12/16 44 Risk Has Utility at Multiple Levels Community Outcomes Strategic Asset Outcomes Service Levels Vertical Integration e.g. Funding Allocation, performance monitoring Tactical e.g. - Criticality, Project Risk Intervention Levels Work Instructions Operational Physical Work e.g. Procurement, Safety, Contract Risk Slide 45 Balancing Delivery Investment Service/ Performance Outcome Information 10 0 Inventory Condition/Function Resilience 0 Organization 10 $ $ Risk Consequence of Failure 23

24 STRATEGIC DECISIONS Investment Decisions for Infrastructure Alignment with goals and objectives of the agency Mission Vision Goals, Objectives Slide 47 Funding allocation in each bucket can be challenging Elected officials and decision-makers often don t respond to the technical language well enough to get the allocation right Rehab of Existing Network Eliminate Assets Adding New Assets 24

25 Slide 48 Example: Triple Bottom Line Multi-Criteria Analysis to assess investment alternatives Investment alignment to agency goals Transparent, objective, and allows for an assessment of different asset types Weightings and criteria can change as government priorities change. Slide 49 Renewal Decision-Making Agencies use a variety of analytics for renewal decisions Typically a variety of investment / treatment types are considered Objectives can be varied to assess the impacts of different investment alternatives Hold Budget, Hold Condition Target State / Service Level Some clients starting to use risk as the primary objective function for strategic, long term funding allocation 25

26 HOW TO ALLOCATE FUNDING WITH RISK Slide 51 Achieving Service Levels Roads exist to provide a service: Mobility and Land Access Service levels are customer focussed Travel time / delay Safety Reliability Availability Rideability / Comfort Technical proxies have predominated IRI, SDI, BCI, Rut Depth 26

27 Slide 52 Evolution of the Methodology Consequence: Asset importance to agency goals, i.e. service delivery failure s effect of achieving mandate TBL used to assess of importance of that asset and represent risk consequence or performance importance / a form of criticality When actual probability in unknown, technical measures like condition can be used as a proxy for likelihood In this way, a target risk level can be the objective function for investment analytics Municipal Application Slide 53 Multiple services to deliver and asset portfolios Funding allocation between service/asset groups Mechanism hinges on risk levels being traded-off against investment 27

28 Slide 54 Mechanism Funding Allocation Process Model allocates funds incrementally to maximize risk reduction benefit Not necessarily the most risky Allocation to reduce risk as much as possible within constrained budgets, over time Buildings Parks Other Key Condition Age / Performance Model Other Key Condition Age / Indicators Performance Model Other Key Condition Age / Indicators Performance Model Treatment Inventory Indicators Other Key Condition Age / Strategies Performance Treatment Inventory Model Indicators Other Key Condition Age / Strategies Treatment Performance Inventory Model Strategies Indicators Treatment Inventory Strategies Treatment Inventory Strategies Rate Sources Base (Minimum) Base Risk (Minimum) Base Risk (Minimum) Base Risk (Minimum) Base Risk (Maximum) Risk Transportation Risk (TBL Value) Risk (TBL Value) Risk Likelyhood (TBL Value) of Failure Risk Likelyhood (TBL Value) of Failure Risk Likelyhood (TBL of Value) Failure Likelyhood of Failure Likelihood of Failure Cross Asset Optimization (Goal Programming) using Risk with constraints on Budget Sources Waste Water / Storm Water Buildings Parks LOS LOS LOS LOS LOS Mitigated or Optimal Mitigated Riskor Optimal Mitigated Riskor Optimal Mitigated Riskor Optimal Mitigated Riskor Optimal (LLC) Risk Water Transportation Optimized Least Life-cycle Waste Water Optimized Cost /Storm Water Least Life-cycle Determination Optimized Water Cost Least Life-cycle Determination Optimized Cost Determination Least Life-cycle Optimized Cost Determination Least Life-cycle Cost Determination Tax Funding Slide 55 Benefits Elected decision-makers readily respond to risk Common language to communicate and evaluate financial investment choices Consequence / goal alignment is the most difficult aspect to consistently apply. Triple Bottom Line is the best way to evaluate portfolio assets relative importance 28

29 How well does your organisation define it s goals and objectives? Slide 56 A few stones need to be laid before you can employ risk in this way Slide 57 Cross Asset, Risk Based Funding Allocation 29

30 Slide 58 Thoughts to take away Risk can help allocate funds Method requires a good definition of agency goals and objectives that are translated to an objective MCA framework Optimized funding is important when funding is limited. Complex problems require powerful tools, ODM is a one you may have in your toolkit Build your foundation QUESTIONS? 30
