Abstract:

Paperless data collection and immediate, widespread accessibility have long been sought after features of any Bridge Inspection System. In the fall of 2004 the New York City Department of Transportation set out to accomplish just that with its award of a task order contract to create a Bridge Data System or “BDS”. This contract included business process re-engineering and associated tools related to the NYC DOT Bridge Inspection Program. The new system would be both a replacement and expansion of its existing Bridge Inspection System. Main features of the system include:

  • The creation of an accessible and logical inventory of the DOT’s bridges that is compatible with, and utilizes, data from existing systems.

  • Development and implementation of a system to plan, schedule, and document the Departments Inspections.

  • Ability to comply with NBIS and AASTHO requirements as well as the particularity of the NYC DOT inspections (culverts, pedestrian bridges, etc.)

  • Ability of field inspectors to conduct the inspections utilizing PDA’s with a system that is compatible with the New York States Bridge Inspection Program – Pen Interface (BIPPI) System

  • Incorporation of a Web Accessible Database for distributed access to information regarding bridges in the departments care

Based on its ScanPrint platform, Advitam delivered the BDS to the NYCDOT in 2006, and it has been used since then by the members of the Bridge Inspection / Research and Development Unit (BIR&D).

This paper will provide a broad overview of the system & the functionalities included, and will focus on benefits of using the system for DOT as well as for consultanting engineers working for the DOT.
