An in-depth analysis is currently being carried out on the criteria at the basis indexes calculation supporting Sina’s Bridge Management System to be applied to the entire information managed (Asset management) and aligned with the conventions defined within the Guidelines. Thanks to the experience gained with the development of the pilot project, the passage of Sina inspection data to BIM models can be standardised with the development of automated processes, using the information contained and validated in Sina databases. Digital transformation, Information management and data flow are at the basis of any new technological implementation. Tests performed with the pilot project development have been recorded within the implementation process to record applied procedures, also as “lessons learned” tow ards the procedure definition. Health and asset value indicators in-depth studies will be performed first on a selected highway agency and then to the entire network, to enable analysis and prioritization activities. After geolocated bridges database development and having “digital twin” using 3D BIM software suite creation, the new research program that SINA is launching with the aim to improve its tools to perform asset inspection activities include the use of VR and AR, in particular for: a) Supporting the inspectors training activities: SINA is trying to use both BIM technologies and VR simulation in order to create an instructional environment where training inspectors; b) Switching from classical visual inspections to a new and enhanced inspection surveys: SINA is developing an AR software environment with the aim to provide, in real time, back-office technical information to the inspectors (1#stage) superimposing to the re al bridge the “digital twin” with all the historical recording (2#stage); c) Introducing a total remote inspections service; in these field SINA is looking for two different goals: first: to be able to support the field inspector activities with all the needed back office specialized engineer’s expertise, second: to be able to promote a first advanced experiences of total remote inspection services using remote inspection device (like Drone, Scanner, Autonomous Vehicle, remote video surveillance etc.) instead of physical inspector. The advantages or benefit that SINA is looking to achieve with the help of these new technologies are: Lower training costs increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of the teaching; Increase safety for trainee inspectors; Reduce or eliminate on site costs; Reduce the post-processing activities; Reduce/eliminate the preparatory activities (you can access to all the needed information in real time); Increasing the quality of the observations; EU BIM Task Group.
