• Description:
  This report covers a two-year study of the feasibility and development of specific recommendations for a comprehensive bridge management system (BMS) for the Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation. The study identified the problems which could advantageously be addressed by a BMS and recommends a scope for a proposed BMS which is believed to be appropriate for application at district and state level. The study also included review of BMSs proposed, developed, and used in other states and reviews of theory and technology relevant to the sub-problems comprising the overall bridge management problem. Finally, the study addresses the problem of identifying the data required for the application of a BMS in Texas.
