Abstract:

Parts of transportation infrastructure asset management systems have been around since 1970. Pavement Management Systems (PMS) were the first systems to be implemented followed by Bridge (BMS), Safety (SMS), Congestion (CMS), Maintenance (MMS), etc. In the 1990s, most agencies focused on development and deployment of individual management systems. By 2000, agencies were pursuing integration of management systems. Today, many agencies realize the potential of integrated systems. Among these, North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has implemented an integrated system comprising of PMS, MMS, BMS and Asset Trade-Off Analyst (ATOA). This paper presents the framework and applications of a sub-set of this integration focusing on NCDOT’s Integrated Bridge and Maintenance Management Systems. The paper demonstrates, using examples and case studies, how similar integrated systems can be developed and used by any state agency to manage and share bridge inventory, condition, maintenance history; track performance of bridge maintenance and preservation work to ensure sustainability of the overall bridge network; prepare and share bridge work plan between BMS & MMS; and, better plan future bridge maintenance and preservation work by reliably determining the resources needed (man-hours and dollars) thereby facilitating planning and decision making. The case studies presented reveal the positive and stabilizing impact that maintenance has on network condition, and highlight the need for more comprehensive review and validation of unit costs used for planning future maintenance work.
