Abstract

Bridge management systems were developed to address the data organization and decision making aspects of bridge inspection and maintenance. However, these systems still neglect the automation aspects of bridge monitoring and inspection. Automation may result in monetary savings and can optimize the inspection process. This paper discusses the data model that was developed to support automated imaging inspection of concrete bridges. The paper discusses the framework for an automated bridge inspection methodology and provides a detailed discussion of the data modeling efforts involved in the development of the imaging information model.
