SAMS Asset Management · Core

GIS-based pavement & multi-asset management.

SAMS Pavement Management automates PCI calculation, deterioration modeling and multi-year CIP budget optimization. Manage pavement, sidewalks, ADA curb ramps, signs and markings in one platform your engineers, managers and council can all read.

Core capabilities

Everything between an inspection and a funded plan.

01

Automated ASTM D6433 PCI

Accurate, repeatable PCI scores with GIS integration and condition photos on every segment.

02

Multi-asset inventory

Sidewalks, ADA ramps, curb and gutter, signs, markings and any asset type you define, in one place.

03

Deterioration & decision trees

Predict future condition and choose the right treatment at the right time, with rules you write yourself.

04

What-if CIP planning

Optimize multi-year plans under constrained budgets and compare scenarios side by side.

Unified GIS core

One map. Every asset. Complete visibility.

Every road segment, signpost, sidewalk, water and sewer line is mapped with live data. Turn layers on and off, theme them by any attribute, and open street-level imagery from any segment.

  • Seven basemaps, from streets to satellite
  • Theme any layer by condition, class or custom ranges
  • Street-level imagery and photos on each segment
  • Import GeoJSON, shapefiles, Excel and CSV with a mapping wizard

Model deterioration

Predict the future, with your engineering judgment.

Build deterioration curves, priority decision trees and main rehabilitation trees in a visual editor. No hard-coded rules: implement the policy your agency actually follows.

  • Deterioration curves per pavement family
  • Priority and rehabilitation decision trees
  • Unit costs and treatment catalogs you maintain
  • Segment filters on any inventory or inspection attribute

Optimize the budget

Invest in the right treatment, at the right time.

Run bulk multi-year analyses with budget minimums and maximums, inflation, carryover, planned and historic work. The optimization engine evaluates every treatment option and selects the combination with the highest return within your budget. This optimization is unique to SAMS.

  • Compare funding levels and see the backlog they leave
  • Separately funded years and planned projects
  • Preventive maintenance versus costly reconstruction, in dollars

Built-in AI expert

Ask your data anything.

From "What is the projected PCI of Rose Ave in 2030?" to "How do I optimize a $2M budget?", the SAMS assistant answers from your inspections, maps and work history, with tables you can take into a meeting.

  • Plain-language questions, no training needed
  • Answers built only from your own data
  • Conversations that remember where you left off

Analysis · Summary Insight

See what every budget buys, before council asks.

Run as many budget and goal scenarios as you like. Summary Insight compares them side by side: network PCI at the end of the plan, deferred repairs, the cost of waiting and the funding needed to hold today's condition.

Summary Insight cards: network PCI 80.3 to 77.9, deferred repairs, budget spent, cost of waiting, funding to hold PCI and pay now or pay later
Headline numbers for the selected scenario: PCI today and at the end of the plan, backlog, cost of waiting.
Chart of PCI and deferred repairs at the end of the plan for each annual budget from $0 to $20M
What each budget buys: PCI and deferred repairs for every scenario you ran, with the point where extra money buys less.

Council-ready reports

Clear, data-driven insights for better decisions.

SAMS writes the full pavement management plan from your analysis. Your engineers review and edit it, then it goes to council in Word or PDF with your logo.

  • Executive summary and metrics of network health
  • PCI maps and condition by functional class and district
  • CIP plan and budget forecast by scenario
  • Five-year plan street by street, with treatment and cost
  • A public dashboard residents can open with one click

Maximize ROI · Extend asset life

Preventive maintenance versus costly reconstruction.

Applying preservation at the optimal time extends pavement life by 5 to 15 years and saves $4 to $10 in future rehabilitation for every $1 invested.

  • Improve more roadway miles with the same budget
  • Raise network PCI instead of chasing the worst roads
  • Forecast the funding needed to hold a target condition for 5, 10 or 20 years
  • Strengthen grant applications with defensible data
