“…These collapses have generated the need to establish efficient tools for the maintenance and management of bridges, which has led to the development of several bridge management systems (BMSs), including the preservation, optimization and network information system (PONTIS [7]) in the United States, the Japanese bridge management system (J-BMS [8]), and the BaTMan (Sweden), BAUT (Austria), DANBRO (Denmark [9]), Within this framework, the present paper proposes an integrated data-driven approach for bridge management digitalization at the regional scale, coherent with the multi-level approach for the safety management of existing bridges outlined in the abovementioned guidelines published by the Italian MIT [13,14]. A unified relational database (RDB) is used to derive, through SQL cross-analysis queries, the fundamental data for BIM [18][19][20] design, geographic information system (GIS) [21,22] cataloguing, and calculations through existing algorithms [23,24]. In particular, the information stored in the RDB is automatically made available in GIS and allows the automatic generation of preliminary BIM models, which can be enriched with multi-source data derived from the use of the latest technologies.…”
