1 Integrated Bridge Management System (ICOMPASS ) at Burlington County Bridge Commission (BCBC)

2 Location of the Commission Burlington County Bridge Commission Burlington County Bridge Commission

3 Burlington County Bridge Commission Tacony-Palmyra Bridge Open to Traffic: August 14, 1929 Includes a double leaf bascule span. Burlington-Bristol Bridge Open to Traffic: May 2, 1931 Includes a 550 foot center lift span.

4 The New Reality v 4

5 Understanding Technology s Role Technology is NOT a magic bullet in fact, there is nothing magical about technology NOT appropriate in all situations, or even in the majority of situations Technology May complement current engineering practice when current practice fails to provide a solution enables significant savings, if applied appropriately DATA INFORMATION KNOWLEDGE DECISION The most important role of technology is to convert data to the knowledge that can be used in decision-making process.

6 Modernizing Asset Management Integrated Maintenance Management Initiative 2013 Future of Bridge Management Capital Planning and Management System Initiative Integrated Bridge Management initiative (ICOMPASS ) 2014 Technology-based portals for bridge operation under ICOMPASS 2009 First set of sensors installed on TPB 2007 BCBC used sensing and simulation technology to identify the cause of issue at BBB Monitoring During TPB Counterweight Construction 6 Hurricane Sandy

7 ICOMPASS : A Solution for the 21 st Century Bridge Owner 7 Benefits of ICOMPASS : Address BCBC s short- and long-term needs and objectives Increase Return on Investment (ROI) on asset preservation Effective, targeted, and risk-based maintenance planning Enhanced situational awareness Timely retrieval and sharing of information across systems Identification and utilization of interactions across inspection, maintenance, safety, and smart technology Conservation of institutional knowledge Improve BCBC s stewardship of assets by increasing utilization and reliability of assets, leading to better operational performance

8 Preventive & Proactive Preservation Asset Condition Data Processing & Sharing Decision / Planning / Strategy Maintenance Capital Planning & Financials Central Bridge Management System Engineering Management 8 Streamlined Communication Time and Cost Saving Prioritization of Maintenance Preventive Preservation of Assets

9 Portals: Roadway Condition Safety Evaluation 9 System of weather and remote surface temperature stations along both signature structures allows for advanced warning of conditions where roadway could freeze.

10 Portals: Tracking Openings and Ship Traffic Provide operator with: Position of bascule span through opening, ship passage, and closing Wind speed and direction Live streaming images of traffic, ship position, and seating position of span Instrumentation Included Tiltmeters Anemometer Temperature IP cameras 10
