Bridge Management Systems

Bridge Management Systems (BMS) are organized programs that help monitor and maintain bridges to ensure their safety and reliability. They collect data on bridge conditions, performance, and usage through inspections, sensors, and assessments. This information helps engineers prioritize repairs, plan maintenance, and make informed decisions to prevent failures or deterioration. Essentially, a BMS acts like a health record for bridges, allowing transportation agencies to efficiently manage infrastructure and extend the lifespan of bridges while minimizing risks and costs.
