Summary

        On July 21, 2020, the Executive Yuan promulgated the "Guidelines for Bridge Maintenance and Management," in which Article 9 stipulates: "For the National Bridge Statistics System, vehicular and railway bridges shall be established by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications; pedestrian overpasses shall be established by the Ministry of the Interior and connected to the system established by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, which is responsible for consolidating national bridge statistical information." The Ministry of Transportation and Communications further instructed, on November 10, 2020, through Letter No. 1098300073, that the "establishment of the National Vehicular Bridge Statistics System" and the "consolidation of national bridge statistical information" shall be handled by the Institute of Transportation (IOT).
This project is aimed at developing the “National Statistical System for Vehicle Bridges” which includes a module aggregating national bridge information. The system was planned and structured based on the results of interviewing bridge experts and bridge management agencies. Five functional modules were established accordingly. These modules are (1) Statistical information for vehicle bridges, (2) Statistical information for national bridges, (3) Account management, (4) System announcements, and (5) Data interface.
        The "National Bridge Statistics Information" module has built-in tables to demonstrate statistics for vehicle, railway, and pedestrian bridges, such as “Status of bridge usage”, “Distribution of bridge ages”, and “Conditions of bridge inspection and maintenance”. In the system, vehicle bridge information is gathered from three bridge management systems currently operated by three MOTC divisions: IOT, Directorate General of Highways, and Freeway Bureau; while railway and pedestrian bridge information is obtained from the bridge management systems operated by
the Taiwan Railways Administration, MOTC, and by the MOI, respectively.
        The “National Statistical System for Vehicle Bridges (including the national bridge information module)” has two login entrances. The entrance for users from government agencies needs valid permissions to use the five modules in the system. The entrance for the general public needs no account or password allowing the users to explore several typical statistical tables and their related basic bridge information in the module of Statistical Information for national bridges.
