PROTOTYPE APPLICATION: PORTABLE AND INTEGRATING BRIDGE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE SYSTEM

Abstract

The bridge inspections are important for the safety and serviceability of the road system.The regular inspection and diligent record-keeping are essential for ensuring the safety of the bridge. This paper propose a prototype Portable and Integrating Bridge Inspection and Maintenance System developed as an iOS application. The application utilized YOLOv8 AI model to identify and localize the damage from images and incorporated the checklist sheet for other obervation, allowing the user to directly track observations on a single device. Furthermore, the application offers to store the damaged detected image & inspection report in mobile device. The application is designed to used even in the remote area with limited connectivity. This innovation will significantly improve the bridge inspection efficiency, accuracy, and data accessibility, hence contributing to bridge maintenance system.
