Bridge Analyst™

AgileAssets® Bridge Analyst provides transportation agencies with the tools to use bridge condition and inventory data to effectively allocate funds to deteriorating, obsolete, or substandard bridges within their portfolios.

The flexible AgileAssets® bridge management framework stores, retrieves, and processes bridge condition and inventory data, and allows users to analyze the current condition and needs of your bridge population for a wide range of circumstances. The system provides unmatched capabilities in areas essential to effective bridge management, including userdefined decision trees with specified treatments for different condition levels, performance prediction models, and a wide array of scenario analyses.

AgileAssets’ analysis tools can be used to:

• Determine the financial needs for a certain performance level (defined by the user) of individual bridges and/or an entire bridge population
• Predict the future performance levels at various funding levels
• Assess the backlog in maintenance of the bridge population at various funding levels

In addition to calculating overall budget and levels of service consequences, AgileAssets® Bridge Analyst assists you in selecting the recommended treatment and timing of projects. These analyses are also used to formulate the budget needed for bridge preservation. AgileAssets® Bridge Analyst is a module of AgileAssets’ integrated suite of infrastructure asset management systems, which also has modules available for maintenance management, pavement management, equipment and fleet management, plus a GIS interface.
