Forty two percent of bridges in the USA are at least 50 years old, and 46,000 bridges are in poor condition. A predictive maintenance program can help extend the bridges' life, thereby minimizing the need to replace the majority of bridges within a short time. The technological needs of inspectors in the state of Florida were analyzed after reviewing federal highway standards for designing an automated inspection system. This work presents the synthesis of technical knowledge required to conduct bridge inspections and user requirements which will serve as guidelines for the development of a prototype system targeted to expedite the inspection process by data collection, 3D model generation, and report processing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
