Bridge inspection and maintenance consume approximately between 40% and 50% of the life cycle costs. Current practices for inspection and maintenance rely either on paper based inspections or on abstract specialist software. Every application in the inspection and maintenance sector uses its own data model for structures, inspections, damages, and maintenance. Due to this, data and parameters have to be transferred manually or for every data exchange between two applications a converter is necessary. To overcome this issue, an adequate model standard for inspections, damages, and maintenance is necessary. The project aims to analyze current standards for inspection and maintenance and develop suitable information models for damage data, regarding multiple damage types.
