bridge management systems (BMS)

Bridge Management Systems (BMS) are tools used to monitor and manage the safety and maintenance of bridges. They collect data on a bridge's condition, including its structure, materials, and environmental factors. This information helps engineers assess potential issues, plan repairs, and prioritize maintenance to ensure public safety and extend the bridge's lifespan. By using a BMS, transportation agencies can make informed decisions, allocate resources efficiently, and ultimately protect infrastructure investments and the wellbeing of travelers.
