Link between HDM-4 withRMS Systems

8

• Important to have transparency of analysis

• Life cycle analysis capable of: Short, Medium & Long term analyses What-if analysis, Performance indicators

•Management must understand analysis framework

•Availability of local technical expertise

•Default data sets

Decision Support System

9

• New RMS built around HDM-4

• Interface local RMS or DBMS with HDM-4

• Incorporate parts of HDM-4 into local RMS or generic RMS (usually VOC, RDWE)

• Modify local RMS from HDM-4 knowledge base, e.g. improving predictive relationships, adding economic calculations

Modes of Implementation

10

• Prefer open architecture; Several applications operating under

common platform with shared data Can substitute and update applications

easily

• Incorporate HDM-4 through an interface; ensure on-going international support and updates

• Custom-built systems; become outdated rapidly and are expensive to upgrade

System Architecture

11

• Departmental

• In-source expertise

• Out-source monitoring surveys

• Out-source analysis and program drafting

Procurement Options

12

• Interruption to establishment, adaptation (reassignment, leadership change, etc.)

• Slow or lacking updating of IT or HDM s/ware

• Perception of complexity, reliability, or local validity

Risks & Constraints

13

• Report high-level information on future projections to stimulate interest and champions

• Use Performance Indicators like: Impacts of varying budget levels return on projects and programs

• Visits to/from countries with successful implementation

Communication & Messages

14

• Tailor outputs and messages to key audiences

• Keep data and reporting practical, affordable and reliable – choose appropriate level of data detail (Information Quality Level)

• Incorporate into enterprise IT architecture• Mainstream analyses and surveys into

regular road management processes• Utilize international user support

opportunities

Key Considerations

15

• Raise awareness - demos, training, etc.

• Appraisal of IT and RMS

• Design enhancement of RM in agency

• Establish standards for use of HDM-4 by consultants & agency

• Conduct Calibration Level 1 to get started
