New York State Department of Transportation Bridge Inventory Manual Bridge Data Management System George E. Pataki Joseph H Boardman Governor Commissioner Errata to New Bridge Inventory Manual The Highway Data Management System (HDMS) is not active at this time. Therefore, the highway data which is listed in this manual as being obtained from HDMS is unavailable. The following fields will require direct input at this time: Field Name Route Description Route Number or Reference Marker Milepoint State Highway Number Overlap Routes AADT AADT Year AADT Truck % Functional Class Highway Type STRAHNET Designation National Network for Trucks National Highway System Notification will be sent when this data is available. The anticipated timeframe is June 2004. TABLE OF CONTENTS Contents at a Glance I. Introduction Overview Personnel: Regional and Main Office Bridge Terms II. Data System Information III.

Overview This manual describes the NY State Bridge Data Management System (BDMS); what data is stored, how data is entered and how it is used. Two main types of data are stored for NY State bridges in BDMS: Inventory Data and Inspection Data. Inventory and Inspection data are recorded for all bridges which carry a public highway, cross over a public highway or cross over a navigable waterway. Other types of data that is stored in BDMS are, Bridge Vulnerability Data(BSA), Historic Bridge Data, Bridge Management System Costs and Diving Inspection Data. Bridge data is entered using the BDMS Client PC Application. Data is entered by either the Main Office Structures Bridge Data Systems Unit or the Main Office Structures Load Rating Group. Inventory and Inspection Data are organized and updated by Record Code. A Record Code is defined as a group of related bridge data. BDMS data entry can be accomplished by coding paper forms, generating electronic files with WINBOLTS(W indows Bridge Online Transaction System) or BIPPI(Bridge Inspection Program Pen Interface), both PC based applications or by using the Bridge Load Rating Graphical User Interface within the BDMS application. The BDMS data is used most importantly to report to Congress each year the number and condition of bridges in NY State, as well as providing the necessary data for the Departments Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation
