Why CAPE® Works
PILLAR combines advanced technology, actionable intelligence, and transportation expertise within a single framework to answer four critical questions needed for Transportation Asset Intelligence.
The CAPE® framework connects information in a way that creates clarity and provides the process for turning information into action consistently and at scale.
CAPE® Brings Transportation Asset Intelligence
Transportation agencies are surrounded by information such as asset inventories, inspection reports, maintenance records, GIS databases, imagery, LiDAR, and sensor data. Each provides valuable insight into their network. Yet, that critical information often exists across multiple systems, departments, and programs making it difficult to see the complete picture. Transportation Asset Intelligence brings these pieces together, transforming fragmented information into actionable insight.
The CAPE® framework helps transportation agencies:
Understand
what assets exist and their current condition.
Prioritize
the investments and activities that deserve immediate attention.
Manage
their programs, contractors, budgets, risks, and operations more effectively.
Improve
decisions, performance, safety, compliance, and long-term asset value.
Example Workflow

Prioritize repairs based on risk and funding
Monitor contractors and verify improvements
- Improved safety
- Reduced risk
- Objective decision making
- Defensible use of public funds
