CHAPTER ONE

Theoretical Background
1.1. What is Asset Management?
According to (OECD, 2001) a definition of “asset management” that is appropriate for the roads
sector is: “A systematic process of maintaining, upgrading and operating assets, combining
engineering principles with sound business practice and economic rationale, and providing tools
to facilitate a more organized and flexible approach to making the decisions necessary to achieve
the public’s expectations”. The term “asset management system” (AMS) embraces all the
processes, tools, data and policies necessary to achieve the goal of effectively managing
assets(OECD, 2001).
1.2. What can be included in an asset management system?
Each road administration is responsible for the management of its own unique set of assets.
However, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials and the
Federal. Highway Administration (1997) cited in(OECD, 2001) broadly summarizes the typical
assets of a road administration as:
 Physical infrastructure, such as pavements and bridges.
 Human resources (personnel and knowledge).
 Equipment and materials.
 Other items of value such as rights-of-way, data, computer systems, methods,
technologies, and partners.
1.3. Components of an asset management system
An asset management system embraces all the processes, tools, data and policies necessary to
achieve the goal of effectively managing the asset. Although the concept of a “system” does not
usually focus on data requirements, an effective approach to managing the asset as an integrated
system should encompass the data required to meet asset management objectives. This implies
that, in general, an AMS will consist of the following components:
• Goals and policies of the administration.
• Data.
• Resources and budget details.
• Performance models for alternative strategies and programme development.
• Project selection criteria.
• Implementation programme.
• A monitoring and feedback loop.
These components are generally common to all asset management systems, and can be tailored
to match the needs of a road administration. In addition, the system should be flexible enough to
adjust to the changes in the components, particularly the goals, priorities and assets of an
administration. The establishment and operation of the system should follow a systematic
procedure that will generally involve the development, or use of existing, performance models
and will incorporate accepted economic and business practices. Asset management systems can
involve detailed data analysis to facilitate interpretation by administrators for “best” policy

determination. This means that there is a need for adequately trained users with the necessary
skills to use the system effectively.
Austroads (1997) cited in (OECD, 2001) defies major elements of an asset management system
as follows:

management system (source: Austroads (1997)


1.4. What are the requirements of an asset management system?
Asset management systems generally:
• Include inventory information for the asset and condition measures.
• Include values of condition of the asset.
• Include a performance prediction capability.
• Ensure data integrity, enhance data accessibility and provide data compatibility.
• Include all relevant components in life-cycle cost analyses.
• Enable the removal of outdated systems and unproductive assets.
• Consider both system and project optimization.
• Report useful information on a periodic basis, ideally in real time.
• Facilitate iterative analysis processes that can be performed on a regular basis.
1.5. How do existing systems fit into an asset management system?
One of the key aspects of asset management is integration. AMS provides an integrated approach
to all administration costs, be they road user, works, administration, environment or social costs,
and the use of existing administration data sources. AMS integrates existing management
systems for individual assets. This merger provides road administrations with consistent system-

Road asset management strategic plan for AACRA

wide data, enabling the allocation of available funds across competing pavement, structure and
other infrastructure needs (Transport Association of Canada, 1999).
1.6. Asset Management Characteristics
Asset Management is a generic framework of tools and methodologies aimed at enhancing
infrastructure management by emphasizing good business practices and asserting the holistic
approach. It incorporates elements of various diverse disciplines such as accounting, value
engineering, life-cycle cost analysis, economics, risk management, and user satisfaction (Danylo
1998) cited in (USDT, FHM, 2009).It also differs from the traditional management practices in
the following ways:(USDT, FHM, 2009)
• Applies strategic, rather than tactical, measures, goals, and policies.
• Addresses decisions in a network, system-wide fashion rather than at a project level.
• Integrates existing individual infrastructure systems and databases in a common
interoperable environment.
• Introduces and incorporates financial and economic performance measures, ideas, and
theories and treats the infrastructure management process as a business, which requires
efficiency and effectiveness.
• Models internal processes after the private sector.
• Establishes efficient documentation and communication of the decision making process,
which yields two significant benefits: (1) making management decisions transparent to all
kinds of shareholders and (2) rendering decision makers accountable for their choices.
1.7. Development of an asset management system
The development of asset management systems for road administrations is a logical evolutionary
step from managing individual assets (such as pavements and bridges) and programmes (such as
capital and maintenance) to managing from a broader perspective that will use more effectively
the combined but limited resources available to an administration. As such, asset management
systems are generally integrated systems in which the data from existing management systems
for individual assets can be combined to produce new information that, in many cases, it has not
been possible to consider easily with separate systems for individual assets. Many road
administrations already have a solid backbone on which to build an asset management system,
but there are a number of opportunities for improvement:
• Developing common or shared databases
• Integrating management systems for individual assets
• Integrating capital, maintenance and operating programmes
• Linking policies with engineering standards and programme development
• Applying sound economic and business philosophies to the decision-making process
• Developing the tools and computer models necessary to evaluate alternative strategies

1.8. Road asset management functions
The road asset management functions can be described under the following four headings
as per (OECD, 2001).
1. Strategic planning: long-term decisions affecting the whole of the road network, undertaken
primarily for the benefit of senior managers and policy-makers.
2. Programming: determining those parts of the road network where work can be undertaken
with available resources in the next budget period.
3. Preparation: design of works for individual sections of road, issuing of contracts or works
orders for works that have a budget commitment.
4. Operations management: managing and supervising on going works in individual subsections
of road.
Performance measurement is a process of evaluating progress toward reaching predetermined
goals, comprising information on the efficiency with which assets are transformed into goods
and services (outputs), the quality of those outputs (how well they are delivered to clients and the
extent to which clients are pleased) and outcomes (the results of a program activity related to its
proposed purpose), and the effectiveness of government operations in terms of their particular
contributions to program objectives”

1.9. Data requirements in asset management


Asset management systems generally make use of data from a wide range of sources, both within
and outside a road administration. Asset management systems also supply information to various
levels and parts of an administration (e.g. senior management, decision makers, etc.) where it
may be combined with data from other systems. It is therefore vital that every effort is made to
ensure that all data, both used by and output from, an AMS is of an appropriate quality. This in
turn necessitates that all staff within an organization are aware of the importance of data quality
and that appropriate data checking and validation procedures are put in place.
According to (USDT, FHM, 2009) the data collection requirements can be categorized in the
following three groups:
• Location: actual location of the asset as denoted using a linear referencing system or
geographic coordinates.
6
Prepared by: Abiy. M, Demewez. A, Mahilet. D 2020 G.C.
Road asset management strategic plan for AACRA

• Physical attributes: description of the considered assets, which can include material type,
size, length, etc.
• Condition: condition assessment data can be different from one asset category to another
according to the set performance criteria. The data can be qualitative and generic (e.g., good,
bad, etc.), or detailed and quantitative in accordance to establish practices and standards (e.g.,
pavement condition index, bridge health indices, etc.
Typically, an AMS in use by a road administration will utilize of the following data:
• Definition of the network.
• Definition of the assets on the network (e.g. bridge, pavement).
• Location of the assets on the network.
• Condition of the assets.
• Levels of use (e.g. traffic flows).
• Policies and standards (e.g. maintenance standards and treatment designs as well as
monitoring information such as performance measures).
• Budget information (e.g. broken down by asset type, programme level).
Asset data are used in various analyses undertaken in conjunction with the AMS (e.g. calculation
of an asset value). The results from the analyses may be held in the database linked to the AMS.
Data administration
For all asset management systems, the importance of effective data administration cannot be over
emphasized. The connection between the data, the ownership of the data and a detailed
description of the data must be correctly established and defined at the outset and maintained
throughout the life of the system. It is the responsibility of the management within an
organization to promote the importance of effective data administration and to ensure that staff
are well-equipped and have an appropriate mandate for the realization of this task.
Particular attention is required where data comes from sources outside the organization.
Management must make clear what information is required, which organizations are responsible
and what data are to be supplied. The adoption of a structured approach will identify any gaps in
the data and will highlight any data that are of inadequate quality.
Data collection
Data suppliers must be alert, not only to the accuracy of the data collected, but also to its location
and lifetime. Suppliers therefore need a reliable quality control procedure for checking these
elements. Typically, a quality control procedure for data collection should include:
• A formal quality management procedure (e.g. operating under ISO certification).
• Predefined warning values or historical data that can be used in control procedures.
• A requirement that all equipment must be calibrated regularly.
• Reasonable storage mechanisms for raw data (i.e. data used to produce the data in the AMS).
Above all, data suppliers within and outside the road administration must recognize the need for
data quality and ensure its delivery(OECD, 2001)..
Data storage

7
Prepared by: Abiy. M, Demewez. A, Mahilet. D 2020 G.C.
Road asset management strategic plan for AACRA

The data used by an AMS has a high financial value to a road administration. Therefore, once the
collected data have been supplied, they will generally come under the control of the
administration function within the road administration. The administration will have
responsibility for controlling the quality of both new and stored data. Typically, data quality
control procedures should include:
• Data verification (i.e. data should be checked for integrity, location, time, completeness and
accuracy).
• Application to both incoming data and existing stored data.
Management systems
Asset management systems combine information from more than one source and generally use
this to enable administrators to produce additional interpretations of existing data and/or new
information. This requires that both the management of the input data and the processes within
an AMS must be carefully controlled in order to ensure its effective operation(OECD, 2001)..
Possible ways of improving the effectiveness of an AMS include:
• Generating calculations within the AMS that are correctly configured and “calibrated” to
match the business requirements of the organization.
• Facilities to ensure that the outputs of the system can be compared with results from earlier
years, different assets, regions and management units as well as with users’ knowledge and
expectations about the condition and durability of the asset.
• Ease of examination of financial results to aid decision making and input into other systems.
• Cross-checks when combining or summarizing data from different sources to avoid
misinterpretation.
• Use of data mining techniques at any stage of the analysis for investigating trends in the data.
• Facilities to ensure that outputs from the AMS can feed back into the administration to help
define policy and standards and performance against targets(OECD, 2001)..
Data analysis
Asset management systems generally carry out the following data analyses:
• Interpretation of the condition data collected on the individual assets.
• Identification of “optimal” treatments.
• Calculation of life-cycle costs.
• Prioritization of maintenance treatments against budgets.
Asset management generally examines such factors as investment levels, maintenance standards
and economic importance. In terms of infrastructure management, these factors may be
translated into various measures of performance of the asset, including level of use, safety and
environmental impact. Asset management will therefore be influenced by geographical and
socio-economic circumstances in the organization and the business processes adopted(OECD,
2001)..
The value of the assets will be calculated using recognized and accepted accounting practices
within the AMS. The calculation of the value of the asset is not generally included in
management systems for individual assets. Data analysis can be of a technical, financial or

general nature and not every type of analysis will be used equally in all levels of an organization.
In general, different parts of an organization will carry out data analyses at different levels of
detail(OECD, 2001)..

1.10. Asset Management Decision Levels
All forms of management have an internal hierarchy of decision making levels. The structured
process inherent in most corporate systems aggregates information and generalizes the scope of
decisions to be made higher in this hierarchy. Infrastructure management and Asset Management
are not exceptions. There are various decision making levels that represent different perspectives
on the system, ranging from very specific, detailed, and project oriented views to generalized,
comprehensive, strategic ones. The decision levels pertaining to Asset Management as identified
in literature are the strategic level, network level, and project level(OECD, 2001).
The strategic decision making level is the broadest and most comprehensive. It pertains to
strategic decisions concerning all types of assets and systems within the civil engineering
environment, one of them being the transportation sector. Within transportation, it may consider
all different modes and all assets pertaining to these modes. The strategic level of decision
making is concerned with generic and strategic resource allocation and utilization decisions
within the constructed environment.
The network decision making level pertains to determining the overall agency-wide
maintenance, rehabilitation, construction strategies, and works programs. This decision level
considers system-wide decisions, but its scope is narrower than the strategic level’s. Overall
budget allocation and transportation planning are the key focus areas. This decision level is often
broken down in to program and project selection levels (OECD, 2001).
The program decision making level is concerned with the overall, network wide programming
of actions and allocations. It is involved in policy decisions, and the aim is the system-wide

9

Road asset management strategic plan for AACRA

optimization of funds allocated to rehabilitation, maintenance, or new construction of


infrastructure assets.
The project selection level is concerned with decisions on funding for projects or groups of
projects. This level generates decisions at a higher level of aggregation than the project level, but
it requires more detailed information than the program and network levels. It serves as a link
between the network level and the subsequent project level of analysis.
The project level of decision making and analysis pertains to the specific, mode-wise, asset-
wise, and geographically determined projects. It addresses the design of the projects included in
the overall work plan needed to meet the agencies’ performance measures. It is also called “field
level” or “operational level” and refers to how the actual work is going to be done.

CHAPTER TWO
2.1. Current practice of asset management in Addis Ababa city roads authority
2.1.1. History of Addis Ababa City Roads development
Addis Ababa city was founded by Minellik II and Empress Taitu in 1887. The history of the
city’s road development also begins from the inception of the city. Minellik II constructed the
first ever two roads in the city as well as in the country that stretch from Addis Ababa to Addis
Alem and from His Palace to England Embassy in 1902. In 1904, the first roller was imported
by the emperor and was being pulled by many people for its operation. Emperor Minellik was
also believed to be the first in importing two cars in Addis Ababa and introduced the car
technology in the city for the first time in 1907.
The country’s modern road construction is highly interlinked with Emperor Haile Sellase’s
ruling period. During the regime of Haile Sellase I, a number of contractors were organized to
carry out road construction.The first one to be established by the Government to construct roads
was Public Works Department. It was established to construct roads and buildings in Addis
Ababa and in its surrounding. After a few years, this department was raised to a minister level
and Addis Ababa got the chance to establish its road development organizational structure.
When it was decided for Addis Ababa to have a mayor and a council in 1942, after independence
from Italian occupation, the city roads construction and maintenance was organized under the
municipality. To fulfill the road construction activities together with building works the “Road
and Building works” department was established. This department stayed till the replacement of
the Haile Sellase regime by the Derg regime performing its duties. However, no fundamental
organizational change of the department was observed in the Derg regime.
In 1993 the existing Government (EPRDF) has established regional governments and gave them
power to administer their regions with autonomy. During this time, Addis Ababa was also
established as one of the regions. The Addis Ababa administration during this period established
the “bureau of works and urban development” and the bureau organized a department under it to
carry out the road construction and maintenance works. The newly established road department
constructed and maintained the city roads until the establishment of the Addis Ababa City Roads
Authority in March 15, 1998 by regulation No. 7/1998 to be administrated by board of directors
to construct maintain and administer the road works in Addis Ababa, by the city Administration.
The total length of road constructed in the city until the establishment of the authority in March
1998, was 1632 km of which 1303 km was gravel road and the remaining 329 km was Asphalt
surfaced road. The Addis Ababa City Roads Authority has done remarkable progress in the city
roads expansion and upgrading in the last 17 years since its establishment. To date the City
Roads network length reached 5365 kms of which 1326 km is gravel surfaced, 1596 km is Coble
stone paved road and 2443 km is Asphalt surfaced with 7 meters’ width and the road network
coverage has reached 20.1% compared with the developed area of the city.

2.1.12. Data collection mechanism of AACRA


The pavement data collection process of AACRA is based on different factors which includes,
pavement current condition, pavement historical performance, pavement materials, pavement
thicknesses, traffic information, pavement geometry, and environmental data. AACRA data
collection mechanism is mainly through visual inspection methods this data collection
mechanism is blamed to be the source of improper maintenance type decision and frequent
failure of maintained roads (based on the information from interview) and they also have a new
mobile sensor technology with the help of JICA.
Walked Data Collection
Inventory data can be collected using existing resources, who are trained to capture relevant
details as a separate surveying exercise.
Advantages: Collection of data using a walked additional survey, by existing resources, has the
advantage of the data being captured by people who may subsequently use it. A walked survey
allows all data to be captured. Using existing resources to collect the data means that they are
trained in the process of data capture and can then subsequently assist with the upkeep of data.
Disadvantages: Depending upon the amount of data that is missing, collecting data by additional
survey can be time consuming and costly. If the data required is only pavement data, then the
survey can require a lot of walking to collect a relatively modest amount of data.
Relative Cost: The cost of a survey of this nature is highly dependent upon the items of data
being captured and the capability of the staff chosen to undertake it. This can be a comparatively
expensive method of data capture.
If no inventory data is held, it may be appropriate to undertake a full inventory survey and get a
complete base inventory and follow this up with maintenance of the data by 'walked inspector
data collection'.
Topographical Surveys
This method involves the use of topographic survey methods to accurately locate inventory data.
This would typically comprise the collection of point items, lines and polygons for each of the
asset types collected.
Advantages: This method provides a high level of accuracy for location. Where detailed records
of areas are required, it provides polygon data which can be presented in graphical format that
better reflects reality than line data.
Disadvantages: The level of accuracy that topographical surveys provide is not required for
many road asset items. The data, once collected, has then to be managed by others and collection
via this method does not assist in creating a resource capable of keeping the data up to date.
Relative Cost: The relative cost of a topographical survey can be high, but may be warranted if
there is a specific need for collecting of accurate area information.
Digital Video Capture
This method involves using specialist vehicle-mounted digital video equipment to capture data.
The survey is undertaken, by driving the vehicle around the survey route. Data is then taken-off,

17
Prepared by: Abiy. M, Demewez. A, Mahilet. D 2020 G.C.
Road asset management strategic plan for AACRA

either automatically for some items using sophisticated software or by an operator subsequently
viewing the videos and digitizing the data required.
Advantages: This method provides a record that can be replayed and reviewed. It is
comparatively safe, as it is undertaken from a vehicle. Large amounts of data can be relatively
rapidly collected.
Disadvantages: In some instances, the video capture may miss items that are obscured by parked
vehicles and other obstructions.
Vehicle-based Condition Surveys
This method involves using data, usually a video, collected during vehicle-based condition
surveys, as a source of inventory data. Surveys such as the UK “SCANNER” condition surveys
will typically collect video data. It is similar to the method above, but would generally not apply
such sophisticated video technology.
Advantages: This method takes advantage of data that is already available, from a survey that has
been paid for.
Disadvantages: Taking data from a video relies on the image being good enough, to discern
things like changes in surface and where the edge of pavement is. A vehicle-based condition
survey will only be available for some roads, typically national and regional roads. This survey
might not provide geo-referenced co-ordinates or measurements and if that were the case, it
would be of limited use for inventory capture.
Relative Cost: The relative cost is low. The additional survey cost should be nil. The cost lies in
the activity in taking-off data from the videos.
Aerial Photography
This method uses aerial photographs as a means of identifying areas and location of assets. This
method is rarely used for road asset management data collection.
Using Existing Mapping
This method uses existing mapping to determine areas of road.
Advantage: This can be a cheap source of some basic area data.
Disadvantages: The accuracy of the mapping may not be suitable to enable its use for many
areas. The method cannot be used to capture material type and is likely to only be used in
combination with other surveys.

2.1.14. The major challenges of AACRA asset management department
1nternal challenges
Shortage of approved budget: When budgets are prepared it is based on the needs for the
maintenance and other asset treatment works but the budget allocated for the road asset
maintenance is not the same as the requested budget so it is the major challenge to undertake
different planned works

Lack of well-established asset management system: AACRA still does not establish a
governance framework and well-studied policy and strategy for asset management directorates
this hinders the work progress arrangements and performance evaluation for each maintenance
and related activities.

External challenges
Drainage system: Addis Ababa city is established without proper drainage and waste water
treatment lines this creates several repetition of the maintenance works
Community awareness: The community doesn’t have a positive attitude and good habit
towards road assets and there is a deficiency in enforcing the government
punishment law as a result local community is now freely abusing the road
assets which are constructed through large amount of country investments
and creates redundancy in maintenance works with in short period of time.

LEVELS OF SERVICE
AACRA has not carried out any detailed research on customer expectations however during the
preparation of the Community Strategic Plan, consultation and input from the Community was
achieved through a number of on-line surveys, Community workshops and Focus Groups;
undertaken during August and September of 2011. The results are shown in the following
graphs.
Technical Levels of Service - Supporting the community service levels are operational or
technical measures of performance. These technical measures relate to the allocation of resources
to service activities that the council undertakes to best achieve the desired community outcomes.
Technical service measures are linked to annual budgets covering:
• Operations – the regular activities to provide services such as opening hours, cleansing
frequency, mowing frequency, etc.
• Maintenance – the activities necessary to retain an assets as near as practicable to its original
condition (eg road patching, unsealed road grading, building and structure repairs),
• Renewal – the activities that return the service capability of an asset up to that which it had
originally (eg frequency and cost of road resurfacing and pavement reconstruction, pipeline
replacement and building component replacement),
• Upgrade – the activities to provide an higher level of service (eg widening a road, sealing an
unsealed road, replacing a pipeline with a larger size) or a new service that did not exist
previously (eg a new library).
The standard of service must be balanced against the cost of providing the serviceTECHNICAL

The way in which data is managed in AACRA can be divided into two parts: core infrastructure
data, which is managed either within a GIS or CAD environment; and other data (facilities, vehicles,
plant and machinery), which is managed within the framework of non-spatial (relational or
tabular) databases. Looking first at the data that has a spatial component, this is managed almost
exclusively by AACRA with using a mix of GIS and CAD software to store data as well as Microsoft access.

3.5. The Road Classification System for Addis Ababa


The planning of Road Reserve Width
the road (Right of Way)
network is
defined in terms
of a road
hierarchy, which
specifies the
width of road
reserves (rights
of way) for
different road
types. The
primary
determinant of
the
classification
system is the
‘Right of Way’,
i.e. the width
of the (road)
reserve
allocated to
the use of the
road, its
associated
works, such as
footpaths, and
other
networked
infrastructure.
The
classification
system does not
define road
widths as such,
and these can
vary
significantly
even within the
same road
classification.Roa

Table 3.1: The Road Classification system for Addis Ababa

The roads falling within the classification of PAS, SAS and CS are termed ‘Masterplan Roads’; and
together comprise the major road network of the City. These could also be thought of in terms of
comprising the Metropolitan Road Network. The design, construction and maintenance activities
associated with these roads are the direct responsibility of ACCRA. This is also the case for
associated works such as bridges, roundabouts, culverts, footpaths and road furniture. In addition,
drainage is seen as an integral part of the road network, though this only comprises road drainage.

3.6. Bridges and Culverts


 Small span bridges: <15m
 Medium span bridges: 15 – 50m
 Large span bridges: 50 – 100m
 Extra-large span bridges: over 100m

Road inventory

The road inventory is used as the basic reference for planning and carrying out maintenance and
inspections. AACRA road asset management department has been broken down into a series of
links and nodes, each defined by a specific number and each being identified physically on the
road. The essential elements of each link include route name and length, functional classification,
pavement and surfacing type, etc.

3.9. Step 2: Assess performance and failure modes


3.9.1. Introduction
Knowledge of the condition of infrastructure assets is critical to the wider success of
the Asset Management Plan, as it forms the basis for building the estimate of both
maintenance and rehabilitation. It also has an impact on the value of the asset base, since a
large maintenance ‘deficit’ reduces the value of the assets.
Common type of failure Cause of failure
Lack of asphalt
Distegration (raveling) hardening of asphalt
Low temperature
Lack of asphalt

3.9.4. Step four : Develop a maintenance budget guide
Define the Maintenance Activities and Create a Catalogue of Unit Rates for Maintenance

Level 1

Condition: Very Good

This level essentially defines new assets, all of which have a one-year maintenance period included
with the warranty of the contract or supply. For these assets no provision has been made for
additional maintenance costs for this level of condition.

Levels 2-4

Here the condition varies from Good (level 2), fair (level 3) to poor (level 4). These three levels all
fall into the category of maintenance, with differing degrees of maintenance and different
activities required.

 For level 2 (Good condition): 2% of the Current Replacement Cost.


 For level 3 (fair condition): 5% of the Current Replacement Cost.

CHAPTER TWO

2.1. Enterprise level strategic plan for AACRA


2.1.1. Road asset management performance
A comprehensive definition of Performance Measurement is offered by(USDT, FHM, 2007):
“Performance measurement is a process of evaluating progress toward reaching predetermined
goals, comprising information on the efficiency with which assets are transformed into goods
and services (outputs), the quality of those outputs (how well they are delivered to clients and the
extent to which clients are pleased) and outcomes (the results of a program activity related to its
proposed purpose), and the effectiveness of government operations in terms of their particular
contributions to program objectives”

There is lack of Asset Management components implementation practice in its fullest sense in
Addis Ababa Roads Authority. Theimplementation stage of an asset Management system is
still at the planning stage. Most of the individual management systemshave not been utilized,
the most predominant among them being pavement, bridge, and maintenance
managementsystems. Other systems include safety (SMS), congestion (CMS) management
systems.
The data management followed in AACRA since 2006 to 2008 E.C has been collection of
data in paper format which is converted in to Excel sheet and stored.
Data collection decisions in AACRA are predominantly based on past practices and
personnel experiences. But they were not based on data collection decisions mostly on data
collection standards andinput needs of management systems or processes behind the
rationalization of data collection. TheAACRA do not still formally identifiedand document
existing links between the data they collect and the projectselection decisions they support.
Data collection methods used in AACRA are both manual and automated but the automated
method of data collection is on trial base.
Investigation of Road Asset Management Practices in Ethiopia the Case of AACRA, 2017
Msc Thesis by Yetnayet Bihon Page107
Location is given a first rank to prioritizing projects in respect of political and economic
impact than structural condition, functional condition, initial agency cost, life-cycle costs,
usage and customer or user feedback.
Decision making levels in AACRA are not explicitly defined rather than programming and
budgeting decision making level.The value of the asset in their network are not explicitly
known rather than doing the straight - line depreciation.Government accounting procedures
were viewed in several cases as inappropriate for assigning value . In these cases, asset
management approaches were used to assign a value to assets. Asset management systems are
much more appropriate fordetermining asset valuation than straight-line
depreciationaccounting rules.
The main problems faced in applying asset management practice are lack of organized Asset
management department, lack of professional associations, conferences, short courses to
acquire state-of-the- art techniques of Road asset management.

Prepared by: Abiy. M, Demewez. A, Mahilet. D 2020 G.C.
Road asset management strategic plan for AACRA
Organizational challenges, financial challenges, Political awareness, over all asset
management system and professional competency are the major causes of problems for road
asset management practice in AACRA.It needs top-level agency commitment (at the very
highest levels) in support of asset management to be apparent in every case.Asset
management officials should identify and need to change the culture of the organization to
think of asset management as a key business area.
5.3 RECCOMENDATIONS
Based on the output this research, the following recommendations have been forwarded for
use by pertinent policy makers at AACRA as well at government level.
 Higher educational institutions need to be established in Ethiopia regarding Asset
Management and accordingly courses should be offered at undergraduate and graduate
levels; to produce competent and qualified professionals in area.
Investigation of Road Asset Management Practices in Ethiopia the Case of AACRA, 2017
Msc Thesis by Yetnayet Bihon Page108
 Conferences need to be prepared to provide trainings and short courses for the
employee of Asset management related organizations in order to share knowledge
experiences from other international organizations.
 Creating integration with pertinent government organization like; Ethiopian
Electricity Power Authority, Ethio-telecommunication Authority, Water and Sanitary
Authority, etc. to preserve the asset from excavation and damage.
 Need to determine asset valuation through asset management system than straightline
depreciation accounting rules.
 Applying different individual management systems like: pavement, bridge and other
management systems;
 Integration and development of individual management systems by creating database
and data management systems for further decision making by top managers.
 Decision making models and project selection methods need to be developed in the
AACRA.
 Data collection methods should be done based on international experience, individual
management systems data need and standard Automated equipments need to be used
to analyze the severity of the deterioration.
 Up-to-date condition of the asset should be surveyed and inventoried and database
should be created to know the history of the roadway assets.
 A set of rehabilitation and maintenance alternatives should be developed to meet this
objective, and the alternatives analyzed to determine the optimal set of alternatives
(e.g., the set of alternatives that can be used to meet the specified objective at the
lowest life cycle cost).

3.7. AACRA weakness in inventory management


 However, building an accurate and detailed asset inventory proved to be a more complex task,
in both cases
 The collation of these inventories was heavily reliant on just one or two people in the
organization
 The data itself was spread across a range of data sources.
 There were multiple, and often duplicate, data sets, in different formats, and with no metadata.
 Difficult to integrate these diverse sources of data
 ACCRA has operational problems maintaining the information about their respective
systems in a geospatial format

Program level, network level and project level strategies


Communication strategy
The goal is to communicate in a way that is easily understood by non-professionals in the
field of road engineering.
Objectives
The overall aim is to ensure residents and stakeholders know and understand where AACRA
is investing and why. To show that there is a transparent process for decision making. To
achieve this we will:
 Improve understanding of the range of assets that make up the road network that many of
these assets exist to keep people safe and raise awareness that these assets need
maintenance and investment.
 Explain our overall approach to investment including how we invest in planned
maintenance to reduce the need for costly reactive repairs
 Consult on elements of our asset management strategy
 Help residents understand that we are working against a backdrop of increased demand
and reductions in funding
Step 1: To bring technical results to staffs (engineers).
 For example the condition survey, the prognosis of the condition development, the
definition of the maintenance strategy, the maintenance program and the building
program as well as the controlling, generally the whole maintenance cycle has to be
carried out with profound engineering expertise.
Step 2:
 To bring the technical information collected by engineers to decision makers.
 If any graphics are used, they have to be understandable by non-engineers.
 Translate the engineering language into a language that is easily understandable by
decision makers.
 Use striking charts and diagrams and detail explanation on the way how you got the
results in a traceable way.
Step 3:
 The AACRA road asset management directorate shall produce clear statements, with
evidence of high quality and with a traceable process.
 Make asset management a topic in the cabinet of ministers (AACRA director). Bring
higher level management body to transport the plan into the highest level of decision
makers.
Step 5:
 To involve the Addis Ababa city administration authority as it is the main source of
budget
 Address all deputies with a letter form general manager of AACRA (Eng. Moges) and
send them an executive summary and a brochure on the asset management plan
Step 6:

12
Prepared by: Abiy. M, Demewez. A, Mahilet. D 2020
G.C.
Road asset management strategic plan for AACRA

 Bring interested deputies for the Addis Ababa city administration together and discuss
on the asset management plan. Make them aware that there are a lot of roads in an
unacceptable condition.
 Involve a journalist for the wording.
 Explain what you can achieve with an adequate budget. Show the performance
development. Tell your audience that by improving the surface-condition you also
achieve an improvement of traffic safety, which is a very good trigger to open the ears
of your audience.
Step 7:
 Have a good cooperation with local media and try to place press articles about the
activities of AACRA to show what the authority is doing
 Show what has been achieved last year and what is launching this year in a striking
colored map
 Encouraging the press making reports about the authorities work.
 The degree of risk or uncertainty caused by price volatility and other risks shall be
documented, reported to stakeholders, and tracked as a risk to the department’s
pavement objectives

Key messages
 AACRA owns and maintains many assets beyond just the roads. They all need
maintenance and investment.
 Many of these assets are largely invisible but exist to keep people safe.
 We are now developing computer system of inventory management
 AACRA has to make sure roads and infrastructure don’t deteriorate so much that they end
up needing large costly repairs.

Maintenance techniques and program needs


The goal is to establish and maintain a more effective and efficient highway maintenance program.
Specific objectives are:

 To establish acceptable levels of maintenance service


 To provide an objective basis upon which the maintenance program can be planned and
executed
 To utilize labor, equipment material and financial resources in the most efficient and
economical manner
 To provide the means by which management can measure actual performance against
planned performance and take corrective action if required, and
 To utilize a Planned Program Budgeting System as a means of communicating the fiscal
requirements for highway maintenance.

4.0 Inter department co-ordination and Communication strategy

4.1 Inter department co-ordination strategy

Staff are crucial in building AACRA’s reputation by representing the authority externally. The way
they behave and how they talk about their authority can have a huge impact. Good internal
communications are therefore very important in helping a to achieve the above stated objectives.
Internal communication should include: -

 Senior Management Forum

 Regular team meetings

 Database information update to all regional RAM teams

 Evaluation of condition data with proper discussions before decision

 Performance evaluation and Review

It is extremely important that the authority measures the success of this strategy and acts on the
feedback received to amend or enhance it where necessary and communicate these changes.

What will be measured?

 Awareness of asset management services and the services it provides

 Increased satisfaction with road condition and road maintenance works

 Satisfaction with any contact with road services

 Participation and engagement with projects maintenance.

How will this be measured?

 Amount and nature of media coverage.

 Comments, compliments and complaints received about road conditions.

 Number of visits to road networks.

 Consultation with directly affected residents – perception and satisfaction surveys

 Staff survey

4.3 Strategy for Performance Base Approach

Performance measurement is not carried out in most road agencies (Pinard 2015) that studies
carryout in different country including Ethiopia. assessment done on AACRA shows that the agency
doesn’t have organize and structured performance measurement of asset and performance indictor.
however, the agency used different criteria to maintain and operate the road asset. Because of this
reason performance strategic for AACRA prepared as follows.

1. Establishment of objective of performance measurement for AACRA.

15
Prepared by: Abiy. M, Demewez. A, Mahilet. D 2020
G.C.
Road asset management strategic plan for AACRA

 To be a safe, effective, efficient and fully integrated Road Authority which will best meet
the needs of all the stakeholders of the City of Addis Ababa.

 improving Levels of Service and Reducing Costs of Living for Economic and Social
Development, whilst being Environmentally & Economically Sustainable.

2. Identification of performance indicators

Key performance indicators (KPIs) are designed to be objective measures of performance for
AACRA.it is important to participate all stakeholders for discussed as well as the need to achieve
balance efficiency using performance indicators.

There are three of performance asset management AACRA

 Physical condition – Condition of the physical infrastructure that allows it to meet the
intended level of service such as

 Speed of repair response to road defects,

 Compliance with inspection plans,

 Road safety,

 Smoothness of ride,

 Freight mobility and economic vitality (e.g.,


speed, travel time, and/or reliability on key
networks

 Mobility (e.g., travel time and reliability)

 Demand/capacity – The capacity of the physical infrastructure and its ability to meet the
service needs

 Functionality Network Serviceability / – The ability of the physical infrastructure to meet


program delivery needs and ensuring availability, achieving integrity, maintaining
reliability, flexibility, managing condition

ACACRA are entrusted with maintaining, operating, improving, replacing and preserving the road
asset while, at the same time, carefully managing the scarce financial and human resources needed
to achieve these objectives. This must be accomplished under the close analysis of the public who
pay for, either via general taxes or road tariffs, and are regular users of the road network, and who
increasingly demand improved levels of service in terms of safety, reliability, environmental impact
and comfort.

4.3.1 Performance strategic

To ensure that the correct asset management decisions are being made to achieve the objectives set
out in this strategy, there needs to be a measure of both the outcomes that are important to the
public as well as the engineering objectives that are trying to be achieved. It is important that public
outcome measures reflect the experience of those using the highway.

16
Prepared by: Abiy. M, Demewez. A, Mahilet. D 2020
G.C.
Road asset management strategic plan for AACRA

Asset management outputs will ensure there is a focus on achieving better value for money over the
long term. Monitoring effective measures of performance can aid and improve decision making at
both a strategic and operational level and provide the link between corporate vision, asset
management strategy, levels of service and maintenance operations

Asset Management Outputs

Measurement and trend analysis of highway asset condition will be an indicator of performance. The
measurements will be specific to each asset group. In many cases itis possible to benchmark
performance with other local highway authorities (ERA)

Public Outcomes

In order to monitor the impact of the Highway Asset Management Plan on the public, a range of
measures are being used and will be developed as asset management is further embedded within
the highways service.

 Public satisfaction on a range of relevant highway issues through stakeholder surveys. e.g.
condition of highways, road safety, speed of repair to highway defects

 Numbers and locations of road casualties;

 Number and cost of claims associated with highway matters;

 Public enquiries and call centre demand

Performance Review

The performance targets will be reviewed annually during the final quarter of the financial year and
adjusted for the following year if necessary. As part of the performance management framework,
processes will be developed to capture lessons learned with a view to continual improvement in
service delivery and good practice.

5.0 Strategy for Cost-budgeting, life-cycle cost analysis

Construction of infrastructure does not only mean large capital investments but also future costs to
operate and maintain these assets. Decision making in planning and design of roads will impact the
need of future operation and maintenance activities. Additionally, infrastructure management is
often under increasing pressure of aging structures, limited budgets and increased demands from
public which require transparency in the decision making. Life cycle costing is a methodology that
takes into account costs throughout an asset’s life cycle including investment, operation,
maintenance and disposal.

In ACCRA after the budget is approved the organization prioritize as per the approved budget; its
limited resource in such a way that ensures value for money. The Authority needs to take account of
the long-term effect of its roads reconstruction and network improvements to ensure value for
money. Long term planning requires accurate predictions about traffic volume, road conditions and
budget levels

The choice of improvement schemes will give consideration to need, as identified through scheme
ranking using objective condition and significance data together with engineering review.
Prioritizing work programmes takes account of not just condition but also transport orientated
factors such as road hierarchy, service levels, economic activities and the importance of the work
itself. Although emphasizing the strategic network is paramount because of its economic
significance, the process of optimization should be able to,

Road asset management strategic plan for AACRA

 Identify the most suitable option from a range of acceptable outcomes;

 Reflect the demands on the different parts of the network, and

 Address the different service areas against economic, social, environmental and cultural
criteria.

5.1 Delivery of Cost-Effective Asset Management:

AACRA road service will adopt a whole life approach to road investment and will increase the
proportion of the network maintained under our asset maintenance and improvement approach.
We will ensure that remedial work is undertaken where required to ensure safety of users.

This will be achieved by:

 Highways asset condition data being used in the targeting of maintenance on specific parts of
the network for the most effective and economic benefits;

 Making greater and more frequent use of low-cost preventative treatments to prolong the
network life to avoid the need for expensive major renewal;

 Making road investment decisions on a whole life basis, i.e. considering future highway
maintenance costs early in a scheme design;

cost- budgeting

what we want to achieve?

 best value for money with budget

 adopt the long-term financial plan as the basis for all service and budget funding decisions

how to achieve it?

 cost effective evaluation method

 low cost preventative treatment

what needs to be done?

 improve from short term budgeting (annual) to long term financial planning.

 much more concern on the preventative maintenance programme

 evaluate asset management plan

Life Cycle Cost

Life cycle costs (or whole of life costs) are the average costs that are required to sustain the service
levels over the longest asset life. Life cycle costs include operating and maintenance expenditure
and asset consumption (depreciation expense). [CITATION Cen15 \l 1033 ]

What we want to achieve?

 Develop maintenance strategies that consider long-term investment needs

 Provide objective data to support investment decisions

 Determine the funding needed to achieve the desired state of good repair

Maintenance strategies for different pavement conditions

The purpose of maintenance strategy is to ensure that the road remains serviceable throughout its
design life. it is important because it:

 prolongs the life of the road by reducing the rate of deterioration, thereby safeguarding
previous investments in construction and rehabilitation,

 lowers the cost of operating vehicles on the road by providing a smooth-running surface

 keeps the road open for traffic and contributes to more reliable transport services

 sustains social and economic benefits of improved road access.

6.1 Classification of Maintenance

There are different maintenance techniques and methods which are widely practiced in the world
wide. But Based on different interviews from the asset management department staffs and
responsible persons the data’s we collect from AACRA the following maintenance techniques should
be implemented. For AACRA road asset management convenience, road maintenance is categorized
as:

 Routine maintenance

 Periodic maintenance

 Urgent maintenance

6.1.1 Routine Maintenance Inputs

Routine maintenance is a recurrent activity. Careful timing of work inputs forms an important part of
an efficient maintenance programme. The prime objective when scheduling maintenance works is to
ensure that the works are carried out as preventive measures, at an early stage when the road
deterioration and damage are still limited. The works are therefore scheduled at strategic intervals
when it is expected that the need for action is essential. For this reason, the timing of regular, or
routine maintenance works are often related to the time of the year when rainfalls occur.

The most common work activities are:

 Clear drains to allow free passage of water

 Clear culverts and other waterways

 Minor repairs to culverts and retaining structures

 Repair and replace scour checks

 Repair, fill and compact potholes and ruts

 Repair road signs

6.1.2 Periodic maintenance

21
Prepared by: Abiy. M, Demewez. A, Mahilet. D 2020
G.C.
Road asset management strategic plan for AACRA

In addition to the routine maintenance carried out each year, the road will need a more extensive
overhaul after a certain number of years. This periodic maintenance involves more comprehensive
and costly activities such as reshaping of the road surface, re-surfacing and major repair or
reconstruction of cross-drainage structures. Depending on the quality of the road, and the level of
wear and tear, the periodic maintenance works would be scheduled at intervals of 3 to 7 years.

Periodic maintenance includes activities such as:

 Major repairs to structures;

 Reshaping prior to resurfacing;

 Regraveling/resurfacing of entire road;

 Spot improvement/rehabilitation of failing sections;

 Installation of new culverts;

 Stockpiling gravel for use during routine maintenance.

Besides scheduled maintenance activities, road works need to make provisions for the occurrence of
unforeseen damage to the road network. This could be caused by excessive floods or rains,
landslides, or other related conditions.

By definition, emergency maintenance cannot be forecasted and therefore does not figure in annual
work programme. It is, however, possible to reserve a certain amount of funds for this purpose.
Equally, the road authorities need to establish contingency plans for such incidences, thus allowing
them to react in a timely fashion, in order to reopen access on the road and limit the extent of the
damages.

6.1.3 Urgent maintenance

Urgent maintenance is undertaken for repairs that cannot be foreseen but require immediate
attention, such as collapsed culverts or landslides that block a road.

Urgent maintenance involves activities such as:

 Repair or reconstruction of damaged drainage structures due to floods or over-weight


vehicles

 Repair or reconstruction of damaged road sections due to wash-outs, erosion, or floods

 Repair or reconstruction of damages to erosion protection, resulting from excessive flows of


water or landslides

 Clearing of landslides, trees or rocks from the road carriageway

6.2 Maintenance Priorities

All road work activities need to issue in budgetary limitations when planning their maintenance
programme. Every road asset management department staffs responsible for road maintenance
faces the additional challenge that available funds are never sufficient. It is therefore necessary to
assess the importance of the various work interventions to ensure that available resources are
utilized in the most effective manner.

Among the three types of maintenance, obviously the emergency maintenance is the most
important as it relates directly to keeping the roads open to traffic. In terms of non-emergency

22
Prepared by: Abiy. M, Demewez. A, Mahilet. D 2020
G.C.
Road asset management strategic plan for AACRA

related works, experience clearly show that it is the regular or routine maintenance activities related
to preserving the drainage system which have the most significant effect in terms of extending the
lifetime of a road. These works do not involve any sophisticated technology or skills. They can be
carried out using manual labor and simple hand tools and are inexpensive. Despite this, they still
require a sound management organization to ensure that works are carried out at the right place
and time.

6.3 Situation Analysis

Addis Ababa city roads have a fundamental element in the provision of access in the different
working areas. However, such access has to be sustained otherwise the benefits will be lost. To be
able to make meaningful suggestions regarding the provision of effective maintenance it is necessary
to have an understanding of the current situation.

6.4 Assessment of Maintenance Needs

 Condition survey

Road condition surveys are an important aspect of the maintenance process and are carried out by
AACRA asset management department at specified intervals to establish maintenance requirements
and, subsequently, priorities. Such surveys are carried out in two stages:

 Visual condition surveys

 Instrument surveys

6.5 Treatment selection

The choice of AACRA maintenance treatments in response to defects has been made by the Road
asset Department technical staff based on engineering judgement. However, to ensure that
treatment is cost-effective and consistent, more objective approaches are appropriate. Treatment
selection rules can be formulated which relate maintenance treatments to defect threshold levels,
or combinations of defects. The selection rules should reflect the maintenance standards.

A more sophisticated approach to treatment selection considers a number of different alternative


treatments for each link in the road network. This approach entails the use of an economic model
such as HDM4 which, through economic optimization techniques, determines the optimum
maintenance works when taking a long-term view.

6.6 Resource Requirements

Having identified the maintenance needs, the resource requirements are calculated in terms of
money, personnel, equipment and materials. The resource requirements are related to the
maintenance techniques utilized which may be either labour-based or equipment-based.

6.7 Resources

 Labor

 Tools/Equipment

 Materials

Resources indicated for each maintenance activity are based on a typical gang required to execute
the activity at the work site.

6.8 Work Methods

A step by step procedure for executing each maintenance activity at the work site is described
separating labour based techniques from equipment-based methods.

Risk Assessment
Plan risk management (Establish the Context)
2.1.1. Risk terminology definitions
Risk appetite it is the amount of risk that an organization is willing to accept to attain its
business objective.

Risk tolerance is a specified range of acceptable results, this tells how sensitive the
organization is to risks. The organization will be willing to take many risks if the project
return on investment is high.

Risk threshold is an amount of risk hat an organization is willing to accept. It is a limit


beyond which the organization will not tolerate the risk.

Mitigating risks is an effort to reduce the probability and/or impact of an identified risk.
Mitigation is done before the risk happens.

3.1. Detailed data of roads is needed for decision making
The following four types of data shall be available(Kumar and Gupta, 2017)
 Data of network of roads
 Works data of rehabilitation & maintenance
 Data of cost
 Data of vehicle fleet
They can be collected through direct Field data collection and Inventory data From AACRA
records
1. Road network Data needed

 Type of soil
 Terrain classification
 Traffic (volume and axle load data),
 Pavement composition and
 Climate has also can been gathered through field studies
The following data can be obtained from various divisional of the AACRA in-charge of
construction and maintenance of the designated portions of the selected roadway network.
 Year of original construction and its specification
 Crust thickness of each pavement layer
 Maintenance inputs and its norms
 Traffic details for the last 5 year
 Year of strengthening and its specification
 Year and specifications of last renewal course
 Temperature and rainfall data for the last 5 years
The collection of road network data in the field is categorized as
 Data of inventory
 Structural capacity and evaluation
 Functional evaluation
 Evaluation of materials used in pavements
a. Inventory data
The details of Inventory data about the selected pavement section is given below:
 Name and Category of road
 Width of carriageway
 Width of shoulder
 Surface thickness and type
 Details of pavement layer
The above data can be gathered by visual inspection of the pavement section and from the in-
charge of

 Adjusted structural number
c. Functional evaluation
Functional evaluation of pavements pertains to road data collection of surface distresses e.g.
pothole area, cracked area, surface roughness and rut depth etc.
Surface distress measurements on the basis of visual judgment
 Measurement of cracked area
 Measurement of pothole area
 Rut depth measurements
 Roughness measurements
d. Evaluation of pavement materials
Field evaluation:
 Thickness of the surfacing courses (new & old)
 Field dry density of the soil subgrade
 sub-base and base courses thickness
 Field moisture content of the soil subgrade
2. Vehicle fleet data
 Vehicle types
 Traffic volume counts
 Vehicle growth rate
3.2. Decisions they made
• Budget allocations
• Network optimization
• Works programming
• Selection of alternative implementation methods
The project selection decisions
• Decisions regarding general funds to be allocated in the different types of authority
works
• After the agency has decided on the amount of funds to be spent in maintenance,
rehabilitation, or new construction (or reconstruction), then the candidate projects that
fall into each of these work programs need to be determined.
• Tradeoff decisions: Tradeoffs may consider the rehabilitation of an existing flexible
pavement through milling and repaving versus the maintenance of a concrete pavement
through crack sealing. Tradeoffs may consider the maintenance of the roadside drainage
system of a particular segment of a highway versus the rehabilitation of a bridge’s
concrete deck or the replacement of its steel railings.
• The selection of the different projects or different groups of projects to be included in a
work program is heavily constrained by available budgets.
