Abstract

This paper describes the past and ongoing research efforts on Taiwan Bridge Management System (T-BMS) that was initially developed in 2000. T-BMS is a web-based system with an inventory of more than 25,000 bridges, and is currently used by all of the bridge management agencies in Taiwan. T-BMS consists of eight functional modules: (1) Inventory; (2) Inspection; (3) Cost Estimating; (4) Maintenance; (5) Maintenance Performance; (6) Statistics; (7) Geographical Information System (GIS); and (8) Parameters Setting. Several subsystems such as T-BMS PC Edition and Automated Visual-Aid System (AVAS) were also developed to respond to the needs of bridge management agencies. Ongoing research, as well as advantages and disadvantages, of T-BMS are also concluded in this paper.
