| Abstract: |
Since 2004, the Italian Autonomous Province of Trento (APT) has been using a Bridge Management System (BMS) entirely based on reliability concepts. The system includes sections for condition state evaluation, safety assessment and network-level prioritization. During the first years of use of the BMS, the inventory and calibration phases were completed, and currently the system database contains information on the condition and reliability for almost the entire stock. This database is the main source of information used by APT in planning future development of the regional road system. Using this information we can now simulate long-term scenarios for infrastructure development, and critically compare alternative maintenance, repair and reconstruction (MR&R) strategies. This paper illustrates both current use of the APT BMS and application of the system to budget programming in a number of practical cases. |
