Transportation asset management for fleets and the roads they run on
Meter-based PM keeps buses and plows in service, condition data keeps bridges and pavement funded, and every inspection is documented before the auditor asks.
Vehicles that make the morning run
A transit bus costs $500K+ and the service runs whether it's ready or not. Meter-based PM triggered by kilometres and engine hours catches the failing component in the garage overnight - not on the route at 7 AM.
Infrastructure risk you can see
Over 40% of Canadian transportation infrastructure is past its design life. Condition scores on every segment and structure, ranked by consequence of failure, put the next problem on the map before it closes a lane.
Compliance without the binder chase
Bridge inspections, vehicle safety certifications, environmental audits - all of it documented, scheduled, and traceable. When the ministry asks, the answer is a report, not a week of digging.
Catch the breakdown in the garage, not on the route
Calendar-based service over-maintains the parked snowplow and misses the bus running 18 hours a day. PM schedules driven by odometer and engine-hour readings service each vehicle when it has actually done the work - overnight, between runs, on your terms.
- PM triggered by kilometres, engine hours, or dates
- Meter readings logged in seconds during circle checks
- Full maintenance and cost history per vehicle
- Availability and MTTR tracked across the fleet
The road network, on the map and in the plan
Model roads, bridges, and culverts as segments and nodes on a fast vector-tile map. PCI surveys stream in through update-mode GIS imports, the map paints by projected replacement year, and a length-weighted Network Condition Index turns hundreds of lane-kilometres into one number council understands.
- Segments and nodes on a fast vector-tile map
- PCI survey results imported in bulk via GIS
- Map painted by condition or replacement year
- Length-weighted NCI to defend the roads budget
Every inspection on schedule, every finding tracked
Bridge inspections, vehicle safety certifications, environmental audits - transit and public works run on documented compliance. Recurring schedules surface what's due before it lapses, and every deficiency becomes a work order with photos, dates, and a closeout trail.
- Recurring inspection schedules with reminders
- Certificates and reports attached to the asset
- Deficiencies convert to tracked work orders
- Audit trails for federal and provincial reviews
And everything else you'd expect
“Having visual metrics on asset age and maintenance history in one place has changed how I think about long-term planning. I can see at a glance which assets are aging, what work has been done on them, and how that factors into our capital planning.”

Transportation Asset Management FAQ
Common questions about fleet maintenance, road networks, inspections, and replacement planning.
What is transportation asset management software?
It's a platform that combines a fleet CMMS with infrastructure condition tracking and capital planning: meter-based maintenance for vehicles, condition scores for roads and structures, documented inspections, and the long-term forecasts that decide what gets replaced when.
How does meter-based PM work for fleet vehicles?
Odometer and engine-hour readings drive the schedule: PM work orders trigger at service intervals like every 12,000 km, so high-mileage buses get serviced more often and seasonal equipment like snowplows isn't over-maintained while parked.
Can AssetLab manage road networks and pavement condition?
Yes. The Infrastructure module models roads as segments and nodes on a fast vector-tile map. Stream PCI surveys in through update-mode GIS imports, paint the map by projected replacement year, and defend the roads budget with a length-weighted Network Condition Index.
Can AssetLab track bridge inspections and vehicle certifications?
Yes. Compliance tracking schedules recurring inspections and certifications with reminders before they lapse, logs results with photos and documents, and turns deficiencies into tracked work orders - a full audit trail for federal and provincial reviews.
How does AssetLab help with fleet replacement planning?
Every vehicle carries its age, condition, meter history, and lifetime maintenance cost - so the replacement planner can rank the fleet by remaining useful life and forecast replacement spend 20 years out. You replace the bus that's costing you money, not the one that's merely oldest.
Is AssetLab suitable for municipal public works departments?
Yes - snowplows, refuse trucks, roads, and bridges all live in the same account, alongside facilities and parks if you manage those too. See how municipalities use AssetLab across every department.
