MAP-21: the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21^st Century Act requires performance measures to increase the accountability and transparency of the federal-aid highway program and improve project decision making through performance-based planning and programming. MAP-21 makes significant changes to the federal transportation policy such as the greater dependence on state departments of transportation to manage affairs and attend to the needs of their constituents.

The VUEWorks Request Portal module delivers convenient online access for citizens and customers to place their requests using the Web.  There is no customization or third party database required; the Request Portal interfaces directly to the VUEWorks Service Request module.  At any time, a citizen or customer can review the status of their request by entering the portal and viewing  “My Requests.”

The VUEWorks Resource Manager module is tightly integrated with the Work Order module so that associated time and costs for personnel, crews, contractors, vendors, equipment, and other items pulled from inventory can be tracked.  Time for labor and equipment can be accounted for independently with the Time Recorder feature, then passed on to external accounting systems.

Service Request: The VUEWorks Service Request module provides a fast, flexible, easy way for staff to manage citizen issues. Simply enter a name or street address and Service Request will quickly center the map over the area of concern so it’s ready for the call taker to enter the issue details using drop-down menus.

Valuation (GASB 34): The VUEWorks Valuation module removes the drudgery and expense of meeting the Government Accounting Standards Board Statement (GASB) No. 34 or Canadian PSAB 3150 requirements for maintaining and reporting value and depreciation of infrastructure assets. With reporting under your control, you can leverage depreciation and related financial information to help plan budgets and projects.

Condition: The VUEWorks Condition module is highly configurable, allowing you to collect, summarize, analyze, rate, and report on the condition of any asset (e.g., signs, pipes, roads, trees and more). Develop your own condition inspection criteria or use condition data collected with the use of other software. Either way, VUEWorks provides configurable tools that allow you to build your own rating criteria as simple or as detailed as required.

Risk: The VUEWorks Risk module allows you to capture stake holder concerns in a risk model to strategically prioritize limited resources and work activities, determine modes for consequences and/or probability of failure for asset classes and types, and configure priorities by assigning weight factors. Once you have the risk model configured and calculated, VUEWorks Risk makes it easy and fast to look at every aspect of the risk model.

Budget Forecasting: The VUEWorks Budget Forecasting module delivers configurable, multi-year capital improvement planning capabilities to help determine long term budget needs based on deterioration curves. Use one of the supplied deterioration curves or one of your own as a basis for forecasting and then identify at what point on the deterioration curve an asset should be rehabilitated or replaced based on risk and condition.

Facilities: The VUEWorks  Facilities module provides access to physical assets not found in a GIS but which still need historical service/work records, data links, condition assessment, valuation, preventive maintenance scheduling and access to key operational documentation. The types of facilities that can be managed are virtually limitless, including pumps, motors, fleet and building components.
