Intelligent Asset Management for Improved Mobility: Technology Transfer for South Carolina
To improve mobility, an asset management system that is capable of autonomously updating the structural status of bridges and resulting networks is needed. The current state of the practice has proven generally effective, however, it comes with high cost, the need for traffic control, and safety risks for inspectors. The extensive needs for mobility in South Carolina, combined with the current state of the infrastructure, require an asset management system that is capable of autonomous evaluation at the network level. This is the opportunity being explored and developed by the project team. To address artificial intelligence (AI) for advancing multimodal mobility, the research team proposes leveraging several ongoing research projects in monitoring and bridge evaluation. The algorithms developed in prior projects will be packaged into a graphical user interface (GUI) for autonomous bridge load rating and transitioned to IBM or others through appropriate licensing agreements. The work will be informed through bi-weekly interactions, and the team is currently working toward this goal. Ongoing South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) projects at the University of South Carolina (USC), while somewhat different from the project proposed here, allow access to bridges that is needed for understanding of issues and training of the AI-based bridge load rating system.
