A Study on Development of the Intelligent Bridge Maintenance System Using RFID

The inspections that are being done on current bridges in our country are made to go through a process of being recorded on the management system and then converted by the computer. This has deteriorated the credibility of manual-analog types of data, inefficient care of information, and produced potential problems of the structures of bridges through subjective evaluations. In order to solve these troubles, this research has aimed at effectiveness, management, and convenience so that the inspector at the actual scene of the bridge structures will be able to achieve the primary purpose of infrastructure safety through precise supervision. To assist this, this study has suggested a state of the art IT intellectual management system that has applied RFID. This system has been designed to decrease the inspecting time on the actual scene, which will provide more time for efficient inspection and by using the converted DB, managing and utilizing high quality data will come naturally and through the objective evaluation, it will be possible to make exact judgments of the structures of the bridge. Also, regardless of the location, it has been found that the work performance was excellent through highly effective management.
