Mobile Model-Based Bridge Lifecycle Management Systems

This paper discusses the requirements for developing Mobile Model-based Bridge Lifecycle Management Systems (MMBLMSs). These new systems should link all the information about the lifecycle stages of a bridge (e.g., construction, inspection and maintenance) to a 4D model of the bridge incorporating different scales of space and time in order to record events throughout the lifecycle with suitable levels of details. In addition, MMBLMSs should support distributed databases and mobile location-based computing by providing user interfaces that could be used on thin clients, such as PDAs and tablet PCs, equipped with wireless communications and tracking devices, such as a GPS receivers. A prototype system developed in Java language is used to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed methodology for realizing these systems.
