摘要: The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) BRIDGEWare Task Force has launched an effort to link its bridge-related software products--Pontis for bridge management, Virtis for load rating, and Opis for bridge design--into an integrated suite of tools to be known as BRIDGEWare. The three software systems share many features, including a common client-server architecture and several individuals who have served on all three projects over the years. The task forces overseeing the products were recently merged. In 2002 development was completed of an integrated database and new versions of all three products to operate on this database. The BRIDGEWare Strategic Plan anticipates that, for the foreseeable future, the three products will remain separate for project management and licensing purposes but will gradually develop useful linkages through adoption of common standards and tools. For example, all products will share a common eXtensible markup language schema for data interchange and Internet-enabled functionality. Initially this standard will be put to work in an integrated report writer that can extract and merge data from any of the three systems. Shared capabilities for security and document management are also in the works. In the long term, the potential for exploiting this linkage is exciting and includes incorporation of life-cycle costs from bridge management into bridge design; greatly enhanced cost estimation for bridge construction and rehabilitation; incorporation of seismic, fatigue, and scour analysis in bridge management; and integration of freight movement operational policies, including permit management, with bridge design and management.
