Item KPI for Bridge Management. A First Step for Bridge Digitation(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022-12-12) Collazos-Arias, Felipe; García-Sánchez, David; Gaute-Alonso, Alvaro; Pellegrino, Carlo; Faleschini, Flora; Zanini, Mariano Angelo; Matos, José C.; Casas, Joan R.; Strauss, Alfred; E&I SEGURAS Y RESILIENTES; Tecnalia Research & InnovationIntroducing a bridge management approach helps asset managers to negotiate among budgets, needs, vulnerabilities and trade-offs. Often being understood as management of maintenance, bridge management is broader than that, and it aims to deliver pre-defined goals, in terms of measurable outcomes or service levels. The overall aim of asset management is to optimise the service level delivered by infrastructure over its life cycle. The focus of management should be on value to users or customers and not solely, nor even primarily, on cost or asset-replacement cost perceived by the infra-structure provider. Moreover, optimal service levels are not in a static form but evolving over time both over the short- and long-term. As an international review of best practices for road management shows, agencies today are moving toward a service-based approach for managing road networks and are moving away from a strictly condition-based approach. Customer-driven priorities, such as safety, reliability, comfort, have become the primary drivers for maintenance and renewal options. This paper is focused in Key Performance Indicators (KPI) selection procedure for an holistic bridge management what is considered by authors as the first step for a real impactful of the bridge digitation.Item Technical Risks and, Intervention and Mitigation Actions in Bridges. A Technical Management Strategy(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022-12-12) García-Sánchez, David; Collazos-Arias, Felipe; Gaute-Alonso, Alvaro; Pellegrino, Carlo; Faleschini, Flora; Zanini, Mariano Angelo; Matos, José C.; Casas, Joan R.; Strauss, Alfred; E&I SEGURAS Y RESILIENTES; Tecnalia Research & InnovationThis paper describes a new strategy defined within RAGTIME for the technical management of transport infrastructures, focused on the road and rail sectors, and affecting mainly in the phase of operation and maintenance. This strategy has been defined based on the incorporation of the infrastructure monitoring technologies, with the overall objective of being able to contribute with real, reliable and on-time data to the decision process. The outcome of the technical management strategy has being defined in order to be able to face the most relevant technical risks, the indicators, and responding to the end needs of ownership, operators and users of the transport infrastructure. As described, the strategy defines the target transport assets to be studied, as well as their main components and variables to be analysed. Likewise, this definition of the technical management strategy responds to the manner, in which data is collected and transmitted, as well as the diagnostic process. This paper includes the selection of the best intervention/mitigation action (corrective, preventive or predictive) according to RAMSSHEEP aspects.
