Prediction of Bridge Inventory Characteristics using Machine Learning

This project will develop a methodology and machine learning tool for predicting key characteristics of bridges in a bridge inventory. The machine learning tool will use individual bridge information available from the National Bridge Inventory (NBI) to predict other bridge characteristics that are better aligned with predictions of current bridge condition ratings and bridge performance in natural hazards. The methodology will help DOTs better quantify the current state of their bridge infrastructure, identify prioritization for modernization and retrofit, and will enable more realistic emergency planning for natural hazards and disasters.
