摘要: |
Although U.S. highway and transit tunnels have performed well and are safe, they are beginning to show their age. A recent report prepared by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) rated the condition of 28% of transit underground structures as substandard or poor. To help ensure the proper preservation of the nation's tunnels, FHWA and FTA have joined together to develop a state-of-the-art tunnel management system (TMS), a process that will extend the service life and reduce the operating expenses of tunnels throughout the country. This article provides an overview of the TMS, and also describes an extensive set of guidelines currently being developed as an accompaniment to the TMS. |
