Prioritizing repair of bridges and bridge sections

摘要

Embodiments of the invention are generally directed toward methods, systems, and computer-readable media for prioritizing bridge repairs. A bridge score is generated that represents various factors such as conditions, load issues, risk of failure, and importance. Repairs to bridges or bridge segments that pose a greater risk may be prioritized before repairs made to bridges posing a lower risk.

主权项

1. Non-transitory, computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a computing device to perform a method of prioritizing repair of a simple-span bridge, the method comprising:
generating a condition score of a segment of the simple-span bridge based on a mathematical combination of condition ratings of bridge elements included in the segment; generating a load-rating score of the segment that is based on an equipment score of a load case that is adjusted by a percentage of traffic associated with the load case; generating a segment prioritization score of the segment that indicates a priority of repairing the segment and that is based on a combination of the condition score and the load-rating score; and storing the segment prioritization score in a data store.
