Named Roads Bridge Inventory Manual Page 8 October 2004 Introduction I. 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(Windows 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 Program. The Main Office and Regional Personnel responsible for supporting and maintaining BDMS are: OIS The Office of Information Services supports the mainframe database and application. BDSU The Bridge Data Systems Unit supports the updating and use of the inventory and inspection data, excluding load rating data. BIU The Bridge Inspection Unit supports the bridge inspection data.
