Emerging Methodologies for Bridge Management Systems
Abstract Managing a bridge system is a complex decision-making process. There is a host of emerging tools and techniques that can be effectively applied in bridge management systems. This paper presents one particular application in which some of these techniques were used in the development of a statewide bridge management system in Indiana. Theories of fuzzy sets were used in bridge structural condition assessment and bridge traffic safety evaluation, while the analytic hierarchy process was adapted for priority ranking. Techniques of dynamic and integer programming were applied to develop an optimization module where bridge structural conditions were dynamically updated by using Markov chain principles. Examples are presented to illustrate some of the applications.
