It is very difficult to gather and keep huge amount of data of any transportation system and virtually impossible to maintain an up to date data for those frequently changing resources without asset management system. This paper discuss the possibility of using GIS to create road development, maintenance, asset management plans.

The aim of my project to clip out an area of road network to be inspected and calculate the km of road for that area and how long it take an inspector to inspect.

The procedure I adopted and the asset base data I calculated for a particular area Gohale Road in Pune city are the Total surface roads, Total subsurface roads, and Asset base (cost of replacement value of material), Operating budget, Capital budget, Road trips average travel time, Average travel speed.
The software I used for this project are- ESRI software’s- ARCMAP ver9, ARCREADER, ArcGIS9.

This system is very helpful for department in planning, budgeting, resource allocation and repairing. As this asset management system provide complete life cycle coverage starting from planning and continuing until replacement or construction. Through the automation of the maintenance process as an asset management tool using GIS, time can be saved and accurate information of road track can be provided.
