Building a Pavement Management Plan Using Roadsoft - Advanced Training

Overview
The Michigan Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) is always looking for new and better ways to deliver training. This webinar is a training session to be delivered using innovative software that allows the instructor and participants to view each other�s computer screens to enhance learning and participation. This training event will be conducted in a small group (20 people or less) in a series of 3, three-hour sessions. Between sessions, students will be given follow-up work to complete outside of the session in order to prepare for the next day�s session.

Objectives
Instructor Tim Colling, P.E., will guide participants through the process of working with RoadSoft�s pavement deterioration model and strategy analysis engine to determine a network-wide pavement management strategy. This is an interactive webinar, using participants� own pavement data to demonstrate how RoadSoft�s modeling tools can answer your pavement management questions and develop viable projections. At the end of the class, students should have a basic pavement model set up to run scenarios of their own data.
