Executive Bridge Maintenance Management System; A Web Portal; Final rept. 15 Oct 03-30 Jun 07

摘要

This project conceptualized, designed, constructed and deployed a state-wide bridge reporting system for the Alabama Department of Transportation that extends the capabilities and user community for the existing Alabama Bridge Information Management Systems (ABIMS). The intranet-based application enables user to identify and retrieve selected bridge records in ABIMS and display the results in standard engineering terms rather than using screen numbers and a short mnemonic for values found in traditional IBM mainframe computer applications. Thus, users of this bridge information portal are able to readily interpret attributes, values and reports. This greatly enhances their ability to analyze bridge inspection and maintenance needs.
