Abstract:

The DANBROweb bridge management system (BMS) focuses on managing the day-to-day activities related to bridge maintenance. Consequently, access to continuously updated information is essential. DANBROweb has been developed as a 100% web-based client-server system that permits all parties involved in the management of the structures to access the same data. The Inventory Module provides relevant technical and administrative data on the structures, supplemented with photos, technical drawings, specifications, and other kinds of digital information. The structures are defined in a six-level element hierarchy. Technical and administrative properties can be registered on all element levels, tailored to each type of element. The Principal Inspection Module holds information on the condition of the bridges and their individual components, thus providing an overview of the condition of the entire bridge stock and identifying the bridges in need of rehabilitation. The Activity Management Module keeps track of all inspection, maintenance and rehabilitation works, budgets, and costs. The general idea of activity management is that a job goes through different stages of execution and the person responsible for each stage changes the status of the job accordingly. The value of immediate access for everybody to continuously updated information is significant in two areas. In activity management it is essential that everybody involved has access to updated information on job statuses. In a distributed organization the concept ensures that the centrally located administration has a continuously updated overview of the structures, their condition, and the funding needs.
