Abstract
By maintaining Uri road infrastructure, the cantonal road agency is ensuring safety, reliability and driving comfort on the roads for passengers and freight transport and thus, contributes to economic and social added value. The canton Uri has one of the first road agencies with an infrastructure division responsible for all road infrastructure objects. This includes inventory, condition inspections, maintenance planning and necessary data management. Uri maintenance and rehabilitation processes for pavements are embedded in a holistic road asset management process supported by an essential IT infrastructure.
One of the key applications is a flexible decision support tool “infFaros Uri” which was customized and developed together with the infrastructure division of canton Uri to meet their needs. infFaros can handle road sections and bridge together allowing synergy effects and corridor planning. It supports various methodologies including probabilistic and deterministic deterioration, cost/benefit and cost/effectiveness decision-making as well as consideration of four-year maintenance and rehabilitation plan and evaluation of its impact. By linking short- and long-term maintenance and rehabilitation planning using existing cantonal transportation data complex questions can be answered and decision making can be efficiently supported by scenario comparisons. infFaros is a modern web-based application. The paper presents both the technical background of the software and use of it to support four-year maintenance and rehabilitation planning within new Uri road asset management process.
