This course will assist practitioners to evaluate, plan and develop Geographic Information System (GIS) models for asset management applications. The course references the AASHTO Transportation Management Guide and Essentials of Geographic Information System Basics. It is the second of a five-course series on using GIS for asset management and focuses on the three initial preparation tasks (evaluation, planning and development) of a new asset management GIS program. These first three tasks serve as the foundation for the subsequent implementation and operation phases.

A basic familiarity with GIS is recommended; however, the course uses common concepts that can be easily followed by any professional of the diverse A/E industry.
