Evaluating Trust in AI-Assisted Bridge Inspection through VR
… implications for critical infrastructure maintenance. This study examines the assurance goals of AI—security, explainability, and trustworthiness—within Virtual Reality (VR) environments for bridge maintenance. Adopting a within-subjects design approach, this research leverages VR …
-
Concrete bridge prioritization system
… method of prioritization for concrete bridge maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation activities is required due to the inability of the current system to manage the increasing numnber of aging concrete bridges. The Concrete Bridge Prioritization System was proposed because of its …

Risk-based bridge asset management
Bridges, critical components of a nation’s infrastructure network, are vulnerable to deterioration from aging, fatigue, and external events like earthquakes or impacts. These challenges, coupled with limited maintenance resources, create the need for efficient and expeditious predictive maintenance …
