Book Asset Valuation

Download or read book Asset Valuation written by Zaid Alyami and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asset valuation is an essential component of effective asset management. It is an important method to demonstrate proper management of public assets and effective utilization of government's budgets. Several government regulatory bodies mandate agencies to report their Tangible Capital Assets' (TCA) values within their annual statement. For example, the Canadian Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB), the Governmental Accounting Standard Board (GASB) and the New Zealand International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS), to name a few. Although some limited research has been conducted on incorporating asset value into asset management systems, there is no comprehensive work done to date to incorporate asset valuation in asset management. An integration method is imperative to manage assets in the most optimized cost-effective ways while maintaining or enhancing the value of these assets. Integrating asset value in asset management strengthens the asset management framework by integrating financial and engineering reporting. In addition, agencies have traditionally made investment decisions for individual assets separately. Independent management systems have traditionally been developed to manage assets, in particular pavements and bridges, the two main transportation assets. The lack of integration between management systems may be due to restrictions associated with funding and/or limitations to the agency's ability to compare data objectively across asset types. Deciding how to best allocate limited resources across these various asset classes to provide acceptable performance poses a persistent and difficult challenge for agencies. Asset value holds a great promise to be incorporated in asset management as a performance measure that translates infrastructure condition in monetary terms that can be easily communicated and understood by the stakeholders (agency, policy makers, users, etc.). Therefore, asset value can be viewed as a common performance measure for integration mechanism between competing asset management systems. vi The objective of this research is to develop a methodology that integrates asset value as a performance measure in asset management decision making. This thesis introduces an asset management methodology that aims to arrive at an optimum value-based asset management plan of maintaining infrastructure assets taking into account budgetary and performance constraints. To achieve this objective, an Asset Value Index (AVI) that integrates asset value and value-driver performance measures and associated thresholds and Level of Service (LOS) requirements is proposed. The Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) is used to develop the proposed AVI. In order to incorporate asset value in asset management and develop the AVI, a comprehensive and analytical analysis of various asset valuation methods is conducted. Based on the analysis, challenges of incorporating asset management are identified and addressed by the proposed Asset Value Loss ratio (AVL) as an integration means. To demonstrate the proposed methodology, a case study from the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) second generation Pavement Management System (PMS2) is presented. An overview of MTO road assets network is presented and analyzed. In addition, the various components of the proposed methodology are demonstrated through the case study. Furthermore, the outcome of the implementation of the proposed AVI is compared to optimization output, Do-Nothing output as well as needs assessment output. Furthermore, building on the proposed methodology presented, a value-based cross asset management methodology is presented using the AVI as a common integration measure. A case study of pavements and bridges based on data obtained from the 7th International Conference of Managing Pavement Assets (ICMPA 7) is used to illustrate the proposed methodology.

Book National Performance Management Measures   Assessing Pavement Condition for National Highway Performance Program  Us Federal Highway Administration Regulation   Fhwa   2018 Edition

Download or read book National Performance Management Measures Assessing Pavement Condition for National Highway Performance Program Us Federal Highway Administration Regulation Fhwa 2018 Edition written by The Law The Law Library and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Performance Management Measures - Assessing Pavement Condition for National Highway Performance Program (US Federal Highway Administration Regulation) (FHWA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the National Performance Management Measures - Assessing Pavement Condition for National Highway Performance Program (US Federal Highway Administration Regulation) (FHWA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The purpose of this final rule is to establish measures for State departments of transportation (State DOT) to use to carry out the National Highway Performance Program (NHPP) and to assess the condition of the following: Pavements on the National Highway System (NHS) (excluding the Interstate System), bridges carrying the NHS which includes on- and off-ramps connected to the NHS, and pavements on the Interstate System. The NHPP is a core Federal-aid highway program that provides support for the condition and performance of the NHS and the construction of new facilities on the NHS. The NHPP also ensures that investments of Federal-aid funds in highway construction are directed to support progress toward the achievement of performance targets established in a State's asset management plan for the NHS. This final rule establishes regulations for the new performance aspects of the NHPP that address measures, targets, and reporting. The FHWA is in the process of creating a new public Web site to help communicate the national performance story. The Web site will likely include infographics, tables, charts, and descriptions of the performance data that State DOTs report to FHWA. The FHWA issues this final rule based on sec. 1203 of MAP-21, which identifies national transportation goals and requires the Secretary to promulgate rules to establish performance measures and standards in specified Federal-aid highway program areas. This book contains: - The complete text of the National Performance Management Measures - Assessing Pavement Condition for National Highway Performance Program (US Federal Highway Administration Regulation) (FHWA) (2018 Edition) - A table of contents with the page number of each section

Download or read book Guide to Performance Based Road Maintenance Contracts written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Road asset management is one of the top priorities of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Transport and Trade Facilitation Strategy 2020. The implementation of performance-based road maintenance contracts (PBCs)—an essential element of road asset management—promotes effective and efficient maintenance of road networks. Well-designed PBCs keep roads in predefined good condition at relatively low cost. This guide aims to help policy makers in CAREC member countries understand and implement PBCs. After a brief history of the development of PBCs, it discusses the various types of PBCs and their relative advantages and disadvantages. It highlights PBC implementation in selected developed, developing, and transitional countries, including CAREC member countries, to illustrate best practices.
