Asset Management & Maintenance

At RSDH, we help asset management engineers and road managers embed safety and crash reduction objectives directly into their pavement and maintenance programs. Our approach moves beyond traditional condition-based asset management by proactively identifying crash risk and prioritising renewal, rehabilitation, and routine maintenance activities where they will deliver the greatest network-wide safety benefits.

​

By combining crash data analysis, network risk mapping, and asset performance modelling, we develop safety-weighted asset management programs that achieve measurable reductions in crash risk without increasing total expenditure. This ensures that every investment decision delivers both asset longevity and improved road safety outcomes.

RSDH also supports the integration of proactive crash risk metrics into existing Road Asset Management Systems (RAMS) and Pavement Management Systems (PMS) such as dTIMS, SMEC AMS, or RAMM. This enables roads with high potential crash risk, but low recorded crash rates  to be properly prioritised for intervention. Our evidence-based approach recognises that most jurisdictions only record police-attended crashes, representing approximately 65% of all road crashes (Austroads AP-R599-19).

​

Through this forward-thinking, data-driven methodology, RSDH empowers road managers to make defendable, transparent, and safety-focused asset management decisions that optimise both network performance and user safety.
