CONDITION RATING AND MAINTENANCE SYSTEM FOR RAILWAY BRIDGES IN POLAND

Changes in the national economies in Central Europe stimulate changes in bridge maintenance systems. The SMOK railway bridge management system was designed and developed at Wroclaw Technical University for Polish State Railways. The main idea of the new system is to combine the new maintenance unit organization with a new inspection system and to implement a computer system to support the collection and processing of data for bridges. The huge amount of fresh and modern knowledge and technology will fill all elements of the management system; among these also will be expert computer systems and economical optimization for supporting the decision-making process.
