Bridge management system

A bridge management system (BMS) is a set of methodologies and procedures for managing information about bridges. Such system is capable of document and process data along the entire life cycle of the structure steps: project design, construction, monitoring, maintenance and end of operation.[1][2]

First used in literature in 1987, the acronym BMS is commonly used in structural engineering to refer to a single or a combination of digital tools and software that support the documentation of every practice related to the single structure.[3] Such software architecture has to meet the needs of road asset managers interested on tracking the serviceability status of bridges through a workflow mainly based on 4 components: data inventory, cost and construction management, structural analysis and assessment and maintenance planning.[1] The implementation of BMS usually is built on top of relational databases, geographic information systems (GIS) and building information modeling platform (BIM) also named bridge information modeling (BrIM)[4] with photogrammetric and laser scanning processing software used for the management of data collected during targeted inspections. The output of the whole procedure, as stated also in some national guidelines of different countries, usually consists of a prioritization of intervention on bridges classified in different risk level according to information collected and processed.[5][4]
