Bridge monitoring and management system using GIS

Abstract

Abstract In this modern world, the use of computer technology in most of the parts of life are necessary especially in engineering scopes. With an advanced technology system, engineers are able to solve the problems encountered from the unexpected situations with an effective ways. Bridge monitoring and management system encompasses the important aspects to be taken in its lifecycle and life span of the bridge. Effective and practicability of system developed allow bridge practitioners to collect, process, analyses, visualize and presented the database information through a moderate medium of delivery among the users. GIS acts as a tools for a bridge practitioners to provide spatial solutions for a problems encountered in spatial data handling for a bridge. This paper discussed about the GIS approach in the monitoring and management system for a bridge structure.
