EVOLUTION OF BRIDGE MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
This paper describes the development of Bridge Management Systems over the last 10 years. Four types of system progressing from simple to complex are described, each one providing an additional feature: (i) inventory database, (ii) basic inspection and maintenance scheduling and recording, (iii) maintenance scheduling taking account of the rate of deterioration and (iv) maintenance scheduling minimising whole life costs and prioritising where the budget is constrained. Each system is discussed in terms of the input data required and the uses of the output data. The current shortage of the data needed to run the more sophisticated systems is examined. It is shown that information stored over a number of years in the simpler systems can be used to provide the required input for the sophisticated systems.
