Measuring Performance among State DOTs: Sharing Good Practices - Establishment of Comparative Performance Measures Program Infrastructure to Support National System Performance Data Collection and Analysis | Research Report
Projects in the 20-24(37) series have been well received by the DOT community but have highlighted a need for a support infrastructure and well defined process for data collection and management and for analysis, reporting, and sharing performance information and best practices. Such an infrastructure and process would accommodate data collected in research already completed or ongoing in the NCHRP 20-24(37) series and provide a framework for future comparative performance research and benchmarking. The infrastructure and data-management process would then ensure a consistent, reliable source of data for comparative performance measurement, analysis and research. The database and infrastructure ultimately may incorporate performance measures addressing transportation system safety, preservation, congestion, system operations management, freight and economic development, and environment, as well as project delivery and other agency business practices. The objective of this project was to develop a conceptual framework and functional description of a comparative performance database and analysis infrastructure to support benchmarking and management strategy formulation by DOTs and others. The envisioned database and infrastructure, realized according to the concepts developed in this research, will be managed and maintained by AASHTO or another suitable organization.

Uses of Risk Management and Data Management to Support Target-Setting for Performance-Based Resource Allocation by Transportation Agencies | Research Report
This NCHRP report supplements NCHRP report 666 “Target-Setting Methods and Data Management to Support Performance-Based Resource Allocation by Transportation Agencies.” It functions as a resource on how transportation agencies can use risk and data management to improve resource allocation and to set performance targets. The report also contains advice that may be of interest of the management of agencies, and also contains case studies about effective data and risk management for performance-based resource allocation.
Australian National Risk Assessment Model | Research Report
The Australian National Risk Assessment Model (ANRAM) helps identify and manage risk on roadways. Both fatal and severe crash risk hazards are identified, and the risk is managed through programs that reduce the crash risk through the road system. The report details the development of ANARM, and also serves as a guide to implement the model on a practical level.
Executive Strategies for Risk Management | Research Report
Departments of Transportation (DOTs) face myriad risks both in long term planning and in the day-to-day functions of the agency. This report describes how the leadership at DOTs currently implement risk management protocols, and to identify which strategies were most effective. A survey of state DOTs was constructed to both identify the perceptions of risk and risk management and to detail the effect those risk management practices how the on the agency's strategic goals.
