Project Objectives:

The objectives of project CFIRE 01-06 are:

  • Work with the Compass Program Manager and other Compass team members to create useful and meaningful measures for understanding and changing maintenance conditions.

  • Work with the Compass Program Manager and Bureau of Highway Operations (BHO) managers to assess, revise, and develop the analysis and reporting procedures used for Compass.
Project Abstract:

Past efforts include data analysis and reporting performance and outcomes for signs, pavement, shoulders, roadsides, drainage, traffic, and bridges. In the 2005 Compass report, measures for bridge inspection and maintenance were added, and historic data was transformed from District to Region-levels. The 2006 Compass reports presented distinct biennial trends for pavement data associated with the agency’s biennial inspection cycle and this will be continued in the 2007 Compass report. In addition, the 2006 Compass report took on a slightly more customer-focus by presenting overall results as a report card and by organizing the measures according to their maintenance objectives such as safety, stewardship, and aesthetics.

The primary project deliverables for the Compass 2007 work order include data reduction and preparation of data tables and figures to be included in two reports: 1) Compass Wisconsin State Highway 2007 Maintenance, Traffic, and Operations Conditions Executive Overview Report and 2) Compass Wisconsin State Highway 2007 Maintenance, Traffic, and Operations Conditions Operational Report on:

  • Shoulders, roadsides, drainage, traffic features (field review data)
  • Signs (SIMS database)
  • Pavement (pavement van data)
  • Bridges (BOS highway structures inventory (HSIS) data)
  • Winter
