Transportation infrastructure engineers and managers have realized the importance of appropriate performance assessment and its impact on overall infrastructure performance and condition. The need for robust, comprehensive, and informative performance measures requires further research and study. Recently, the Center for Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure at the Transportation Institute of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University proposed a flexible framework to aggregate condition measures for different highway infrastructure assets and to translate the measures into corridor health indicators. Health indicators for one asset are aggregated into an associated asset health rating, and all asset health ratings are combined into a corridor health rating. This paper modifies this framework to develop a robust performance assessment method that can be used to determine the impact of investment decisions on various dimensions of performance at the corridor level. Instead of aggregating health indicators of an asset into one asset health rating, the method proposes aggregating similar health indicators of different assets into the associated corridor health indicators to develop corridor performance measures. The application of the methodology on a segment of Interstate 81 suggests that the modified approach enables consistent monitoring of different health indicators at the corridor level. The corridor indicators are homogeneous (combined from similar health indicators of different assets). The practicality of the approach is illustrated through its application in a resource allocation example. The results show that decision makers can use the framework as a guideline to allocate resources across different highway assets.

Bridges play an important role in transportation infrastructure systems. Intelligent and digital management of bridges group is an essential part of the future intelligent transportation infrastructure system. This paper proposes a digital twin system for bridges group in the regional transportation infrastructure network, which is interconnected by measured traffic loads. In physical space, a full-bridge traffic load monitoring system based on information fusion of weigh-in-motion (WIM) and multi-source heterogeneous machine vision is set up on the target bridge to measure traffic loads, also lightweight sensors are employed on the bridges group for structural response information. Furthermore, by establishing mechanical analysis models in the corresponding digital space and using the measured traffic loads as links, the working condition perception and safety warning of all bridges in the regional transportation network is achieved, forming an important support for further intelligent transportation infrastructure system. The proposed digital twin system has been preliminarily implemented in a bridges group around Shanghai, China, demonstrating the feasibility of the technical framework proposed in this paper and the bright prospects.

Denpasar city is the capital of Bali Province and has been developed into a metropolitan city. There has been an agglomeration of four regencies, namely Denpasar, Badung, Gianyar and Tabanan forming a Metropolitan Sarbagita area with a population close to 2 million inhabitants. With heightened population and activity, travel patterns are increasing and scattered. The development of land use in the Sarbagita Metropolitan area occurred rapidly and was not properly anticipated by the provision of adequate infrastructure. This study aims to examine the patterns of movement that occurs and projections for future conditions as a basis to develop a more sustainable transportation infrastructure. The data used are the origin-destination of people and goods, and statistical population data. The prediction method uses four-stages modeling with the help of Visum software and was validated based on the average daily traffic (ADT) data. The results of the study indicate that traffic accumulation occurs on most arterial and collector roads especially around Denpasar with a degree of saturation exceeding 1. To anticipate future population and increased activities, developing a mass public transport system, multi-mode system, ICT system, and limiting the ownership and use of private motor vehicles is necessary.
