Bridge maintenance automation

The investment maintenance of valuable buildings is nowadays performed continuously and by means of automated technologies and softwarized construction business systems organizations. For the purpose of the sustainability of traffic and buildings, the automation of technologies requires a matching automation of works-performing systems logistics within business operations as a whole. However, besides the information flow softwarizing, there are as well technological and organizational novelties aimed at the rationalization of the activities. Namely, the technological novelties are new machines-robots-and the organizational ones are the new formulae-the equations of procedures. Thus the vector methods provide for the fulfillment of investment supported by the scientific procedures that are in turn to contribute to the upgrading of indices to show the economic quality of not only a particular company but of state institutions as well. In other words, the aforementioned automation processes provide the possibilities for further scientific research and the development of society. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
