The Queensland Department of Main Roads (QDMR) has moved along the path in recognising the importance of asset management and implementation of good asset management principles. QDMR began a new phase of implementing improved systems and capabilities for managing its pavement assets in 1998, when it committed to developing a maintenance investment analysis tool, SCENARIO, and implementing the tool in district maintenance planning operations. SCENARIO Suite Millennium (includes SCENARIO, VIEWER and BUDGET) is a decision support tool, used to assist in the process of developing a future program of maintenance works. It models the performance of a road network utilising various treatment strategies and deterioration profiles. This paper will briefly consider the journey of QDMR in asset management of the road network, summarise the tools and systems developed and highlight examples of their use.
