Long Term Bridge Performance Program: Identifying Long Term Bridge Performance Data Priorities
The Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation at Rutgers University has been chosen by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to execute the Long Term Bridge Performance Program (LTBPP). This program is intended to develop protocols and infrastructure for collecting and processing comprehensive bridge condition and performance data to support future bridge management programs. The resulting tools will assist managers of the nation's highway infrastructure in making better decisions in the stewardship of highway assets. Phase I of the program involves the development of protocols and procedures for documenting long term bridge performance and demonstration of those protocols on a handful of selected structures. A significant task of this development phase is to identify the data elements that are most relevant to support the objectives of the LTBP program, examine the feasibility and economics of collecting reliable and quantitative data, and evaluate the potential for practical use of this data in evaluation of bridge performance. In this task, the team will determine what specific types of data are most relevant to the long-term objectives of the program from both the structural and the operational sense, identify relevant data that is already available and how it could be integrated, and then summarize types and selection criteria for additional data to be collected. The presentation will discuss the methodology and progress of the team in completing this program task.
