Governments have a lot of vital jobs, but one of the most crucial is taking care of transportation infrastructure. This includes roads, bridges, rail systems, and public transit. This is because it immediately helps the general public's ability to go about, stay secure, and grow their businesses. However, traditional methods of managing infrastructure assets (IAM) sometimes don't work as well as they could since they are too expensive, the data is too scattered, and they are not very efficient. The goal of this study by Smart Cities Council Professional Member Raj Mehta is to look into how cloud computing-based Software as Service (SaaS) solutions are changing how government organizations keep an eye on and fix infrastructure. Government organizations may improve communication across departments, make maintenance planning more efficient, and keep an eye on assets in real time by using these platforms. This paper describes a strategy framework for using software as a service (SaaS) in the management of transportation infrastructure assets (TIAM). The research looks at problems that already exist, how they are used in the real world, and how they affect security, regulation, and fiscal efficiency. It also looks at how new technologies like digital twins, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI) are affecting the future of public infrastructure systems.
