Abstract:

A web-based bridge management system (BMS) is a system built by combining the geographic information system (GIS) and the Internet. The latest technological advances in hardware and networking have led to a tremendous increase in Internet usage in the United States. Considering the popularity of the World Wide Web, a web-based system is an ideal means for information dissemination. The stakeholders, elected officials, and the public need to have access to information, and this Internet-based system is an efficient way to reach a large number of users at a low cost. Evaluated here is the use of ArcIMS, an off-the-rack software package, to build a web-based BMS. ArcIMS helps in distributing geographic information over the Internet, which allows for real-time integration of data. A web-based system helps departments share data, potentially paving the way for a comprehensive asset management system.
