This law requires the collection and submission of element level bridge inspection data for all National Highway System bridges, in addition to the National Bridge Inspection condition rating data. Ultimately, the data collected during element level bridge inspections should satisfy the requirements of the Federal Highway Administration and MAP-21 and be utilized by INDOT to evaluate bridge condition, predict deterioration, and guide decision making. The objective of this project is to develop recommendations for element level bridge inspection techniques, data collection, and inspector training based on a survey of INDOT peer agencies and a literature review of existing research and bridge inspection guidance. In order to collect consistent and reliable data, a rigorous inspector training program and detailed quality control procedures are necessary. INDOT must provide inspectors with the tools to be successful, including clearly defined expectations and instructions, comprehensive training and technical support, and effective inspection equipment. Similarly, robust quality control measures and periodic performance testing should be implemented to improve inspection quality and assess the agency’s performance.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":2.3978952727983707,"endowment":2.3978952727983707,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"19767382","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2565824718","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2018,"count":1},{"year":2019,"count":1},{"year":2020,"count":1},{"year":2021,"count":1},{"year":2024,"count":1},{"year":2025,"count":3},{"year":2026,"count":2}],"oa_status":"gold","license":null,"oa_locations":[{"url":"https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?filename=0&article=3142&context=jtrp&type=additional","host_type":""},{"url":"https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?filename=0&article=3142&context=jtrp&type=additional","host_type":""},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.5703/1288284316336","host_type":""},{"url":"https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/jtrp/1606","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Infrastructure Maintenance and Monitoring","Concrete Corrosion and Durability","Geotechnical Engineering and Underground Structures"],"mesh_terms":[],"keywords":["Bridge (graph theory)","Element (criminal law)","Asset management","Engineering","Transport engineering","Bridge maintenance","Data collection","Asset (computer security)","Construction engineering","Forensic engineering","Computer science","Business","Structural engineering","Computer security","Law","Political science","Finance","Mathematics"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Peace, Justice and strong institutions"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-03T07:31:49.464142Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
