The development of the Hanshin Expressway Bridge Management System

Abstract

The Hanshin Expressway has developed Bridge Management System (H-BMS) for efficient maintenance and rehabilitation management. H-BMS has function to calculate optimal repair policies by minimizing life cycle costs (LCC), and simulate future condition state and repair costs. H-BMS also has function to determine repair priority. H-BMS uses Latest inspection data and traffic data for improving accuracy. These data are stored in Maintenance Information Managemant System which is the database system of the Hanshin Expressway. H-BMS directly reads necessary data from the database system. H-BMS will be developed for more efficient maintenance and rehabilitation management.
