| Abstract: |
The increased need to manage road infrastructure in holistic manner led in the recent years to vivid research in diagnostics and maintenance planning of all types of road infrastructure objects. The practice lags behind this research and with very few exceptions a silo-based approach to maintenance planning is still dominant within the road agencies. The implementation of a holistic approach in practice is also hampered by the lack of scientifically sound and yet flexible decision support tool that can handle data of varying quality. With the goal to remove this obstacle and based on the long-term research, the development of infFaros started in 2015. infFaros can handle road sections and road structures (e.g. bridges) together making use of synergy effects and allowing corridor planning. It supports various methodologies including probabilistic and deterministic deterioration, cost/benefit and cost/effectiveness decision-making as well consideration of already scheduled interventions and the evaluation of their impact. infFaros is a modern web-based application. The paper presents both technical background of the software and outlines its software architecture. |
