• Abstract:
  This report introduces the design and implementation of a Web-based bridge information visual analytics system. This ; project integrates Internet, multiple databases, remote sensing, and other visualization technologies. The result ; combines a GIS database with other visualization system called Bridge Web-based, GIS Integration (Bridge-WGI), ; developed for evaluating and maintaining the national bridge information system (NBIS). Web-GIS based application ; incorporates national bridge inventory (NBI) data, remote sensing data generated by LiDAR scans, small format aerial ; photography (SFAP), and decision-making support modules, into a general framework with a user-friendly interface ; and easy Internet accessibility. ; The guiding objective of this analytical tool is to enhance the capability of the National Bridge Inspection System ; (NBIS) through: ; 1) providing a better interpretation of bridge condition information; ; 2) providing a decision support module for bridge maintenance; ; 3) providing data entry and visualization functionalities for various information (text, image, and documents); and ; 4) providing a report generating tool for easier to interpret bridge information. ; Bridge-WGI captures all the conventional functionalities of a Web 2.0 application. With Bridge-WGI, there is a ; capability for Bridge Management Systems (BMS) to migrate into an open architecture, secured access, and robust ; interactivity. Benefitting from Internet interactivity, Bridge-WGI is another step toward “anytime anywhere” global ; connectivity objectives. Interactive visualization provide various data interpretations including general bridge ; information, visual analytics, bridge condition distribution mapping, statistical graphs, conditional bridge search, pre-caution alarm, and maintenance decision support. A bridge data tablet application helps bridge inspectors input bridge ; data easily via the Internet.
