1. INTRODUCTION How to Use Manual
1. INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS THE IBMS MIS ?
The IBMS MIS is the Management Information System of the Directorate General of
Highways' (DGH) Interurban Bridge Management System (IBMS).
The IBMS MIS is part of DGH's overall Bridge Management System (BMS) and includes
only bridges on National and Provincial Roads.
The BMS is the system under which all bridge activities in Indonesia ate managed under an
overall policy and uniform standards, and includes
• inventory recording of all bridges

• a computerised Management Information System (MIS)
• standard procedures for all bridge activities, as described in the BMS
Manuals
The IBMS MIS includes a set of computer programs and procedures and the bridge
database, and provides a number of facilities including
• maintenance of the bridge inventory
• maintenance of associated link and traffic tables
• monitoring of construction and rehabilitation works
• planning of future replacement, rehabilitation and design programs
• preparation of inspection programs
• standard reporting and ad-hoc querying of the bridge data
• preparation of data summaries in report and graphical format
In this Manual, the 'IBMS MIS' is generally referred to as the 'IBMS'.
BMS3 - M .1E - IBMS Management Information System Manual - 17 February 1993 1-1
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL
The Manual is divided into logical tasks or steps. The first four Sections give an overview of the IBMS,
how it works, how to use the menus, and describe the various features of the system. The remaining
Sections describe the major tasks a user will need to perform to achieve specific goals. The major
Section headings are
• Data Entry
• Inspection Programs
• Planning
• Programming
• Monitoring
• Utilities
• Graphics
• Reporting
• Installing and Updating IBMS
Each Section gives some background information on the task describing:
• what is done
• how it relates to other tasks
• when it should be done
• how to run it.
Sample Reports from the IBMS are included in an Appendix.
IBMS PROGRAM ORGANISATION
The IBMS computer system has been divided into four modules.
Each module performs different functions.
The modules are
• IBMS Main planning and programming system including

data entry and reporting
• MONITORING Input and monitoring of bridges undergoing

construction or rehabilitation
• GRAPHICS Graphical display of various bridge summaries
• UTILITIES Indexing, backup, restore and import of IRMS

related data
Each of the modules can be run independently or from a 'Frontend' menu.
2. PLANNING AND PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW Procedure Overview
2. PLANNING AND PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
This Section gives an overview of the Planning and Programming procedures. More detailed
information is given in the BMS Planning and Programming Manual.
The Planning and Programming Modules are the core of the IBMS MIS. These modules
consist of a number of integrated tasks. More detailed information on each of these tasks is given in
a following section.
PROCEDURAL OVERVIEW
Figure 2.1 is a flowchart of the Planning and Programming process.
Figure 2.1 - Planning and Programming Overview
PROCEDURAL OVERVIEW (Cont'd)
Essentially the steps involved in Planning and Programming are:
• Prepare and enter all relevant data
- Bridge data, inspection data

- Link and traffic data
• Technically Screen the bridge database
• Economically Evaluate and rank all screened bridges
• Allocate ranked projects according to budget availability
• Prepare individual treatment strategies
• Commit bridges if necessary
• Re-allocate bridges according to revised budgets
• Print replacement/rehabilitation programs
What Happens?
Technical Screening - examines all bridges and flags those

that require major works
Economic Evaluation - determines costs for all flagged

bridges
Economic Ranking - ranks these projects by the

economic indicators of NPV/m or IRR
or prioritised by Road program
Allocation - assigns projects from the ranked list

to specific years according to
specified budgets
Treatment Analysis - decides definitive treatment, cost

and timing and by committing,
allocating that bridge to a works
program.
Note: A change at any of these levels requires al/ the levels that follow to be run
again.
PROCEDURAL OVERVIEW (Cont'd)
Known Bridge Replacement/Rehabilitation Projects
Even when it is known that certain bridges must be replaced or repaired in the next Works
Program, it is recommended that the complete Planning and Programming procedure be
followed before committing those bridges.
If the Planning and Programming procedures have been followed, and the bridge appears
in the relevant Works Program, then the System has worked correctly. If it does not,
then the question should be asked 'Why not?'
• Is the condition data in the database incorrect ?
• Is the traffic data for the link incorrect ?
• Are the unit costs of treatment unrealistic ?
If any of these questions reveal incorrect data, the data should be changed and the
procedure re-run. If it still does not appear in the Works Program, then the bridge should be
committed.
Summary
Like any computer system, the IBMS can only give correct and meaningful results if the
data is correct. The following conditions must apply if the Planning and Programming
process is to work properly
• Bridge data must be correct
• Previous years Works Programs must be in the Monitoring system
• The current years Works Programs must be committed prior to preparing the
following years Works Program
• Link and traffic data must be correct

Highlight the bridge and press Enter to return to that bridge in the original screen.
Press Ctrl-D to clear the buffer. Press D to delete the highlighted bridge from the list of bridges
in the Buffer.
3. IBMS FEATURES Finding a Bridge
FINDING A BRIDGE
This facility allows the user to locate a bridge:
• Directly if the bridge number is known
• By name, if the bridge number is not known or only partially known
The normal procedure (ie. when the bridge name is not known) is as follows
• Enter Province Number and Bridge Name only - then the entire province will
be searched for the name of the bridge entered, or
• Enter Province Number, Link Number, and Bridge Name - the entire link will
be searched for the name of the bridge, or
• Enter as much of the name as is known eg. 'UL...."
• When a list of names satisfying the search criteria is displayed, highlight the
required bridge and press Enter to select it and exit the procedure, or
press Esc to try another Bridge Name and Number.
At anytime during this procedure, the RECALL (Ctrl-L) feature can be used.
The 'Find a Bridge' screen can be activated from any main menu and all bridge data editing
programs, usually by pressing F.
Figure 3.7 - Find a Bridge by Number
BMS3 - M .3E - IBMS Management Information System Manual - 17 February 1993 3 - 10

FINDING A BRIDGE (Cont'd)
• First nominate the bridge number or as much as you know (usually

Province and Link - eg. 36.002) and press Enter.
The screen in Figure 3.7 will be displayed
Note: If the bridge number is correct the bridge is selected and

the routine is exited.
• Enter as much of the name as you know and press Enter
Note: If a large part of the Bridge Name is entered it must match

the Name as stored in the database exactly. If a small part
of the Name is entered you may have more chance of locating
it. This is because the program searches for the entire string of
characters entered.
Example: Bridge required is S.ANU/BUNG CINA
• If only 'S' is entered, many bridges will be found.
• If 'ANU' is entered, the search for the bridge will be

reasonably restricted.
• Entering 'ANU/BUNG' will locate the bridge.
• The more of the name that is entered, the more

restrictive the search will be, but the more correct must
be the spelling in the string of characters.
• After a successful search, the bridges with names which satisfy the part of the
Bridge Name entered are displayed as shown in Figure 3.8. Press PgUp/PgDn
to view all bridges found.

FINDING A BRIDGE (Cont'd)
Figure 3.8 - List of Bridges Names Satisfying Search Criteria
Note: You may notice that there are bridges in the list that do
not appear to match the name you entered. The IBMS
attempts to find bridges that contain the name or character
string entered exactly, or bridges that 'sound' the same.
• If the required bridge is found, highlight it and press Enter to complete the
search or,
• Press Esc to repeat the search using a different name.
• Bridges displayed in this list can be memorized.
eg. If you are looking for a bridge and you are not exactly sure which one it is
from the list displayed, memorize those that it may be with Ctrl
Enter. Return to the original screen, then you can quickly search through the list
with the RECALL (Ctrl-L) feature.

5. DATA ENTRY Links
LINKS - General Information
The Link Database (LINK.DBF) contains information on Link Number, Suffix, Name, Status,
Function, Length, Start and End km readings, and Town of Origin for each Link. The IRMS
maintains the Link database. The IBMS uses only some of the fields kept in the IRMS
version of the LINK file.
The major fields used by the IBMS are the Link Number and Suffix, Status, and Function
fields. These are used in
• the Technical Screening process to determine the adequacy of a bridge for

the existing traffic volume, and in
• the Economic Evaluation process for determining the default width of a

replacement bridge.
The LINK database used in the IBMS should be kept up to date and consistent with the
IRMS version. This can be done in two ways
• Link-by-link editing (Refer page 5-17)
• Importing the IRMS Link file directly using the Database Utilities Module (Refer
page 5-19)
Changes to Link data will require the Technical Screening to be re-run on the Links where data
was changed.

5. DATA ENTRY Traffic
TRAFFIC - General Information
Traffic data is used during :
• Screening - to determine the adequacy of the current bridge width, and

during
• Economic Evaluation - to determine user-costs of diversion etc.
Traffic data is collected and maintened by the IRMS. Traffic data in the IBMS can be
updated in two ways:
• link-by-link editing (Refer Page 5-21)
• importing the IRMS Traffic Data file directly using the Database Utilities
Module (Refer Page 5-23)
The IBMS does not use the IRMS traffic data directly, but calculates projected traffic
counts up to 10 years ahead for use in the Economic Evaluation process.
The IBMS calculates the projected traffic counts by using the results of the traffic counts in a
particular year, and applying anticipated traffic growth rates for the next ten years.
Printing

Traffic Data

GENERAL INFORMATION
Figure 6. 1 - IBMS Inspection Programs Menu
Inspection Programs or 'Pakets' are lists of bridges that are to receive a Detailed or Routine
Inspection. The process of generating these lists can be done entirely by the IBMS or they can be
modified by the user to meet the Province's needs.
After being generated, an Inspection Paket remains unchanged (and can therefore be
printed at any time in the future) until the following occurs :
• Another Inspection Paket is created, or
• Bridge data is imported from a different source.
In the 'Review Inspection Pakets' option, bridges can be added to or deleted from an
Inspection Paket, or moved from one Inspection type to another, regardless of other criteria
applied during the generation of the Paket.
The basis for creating a Paket is described on Page 6-4.
6. INSPECTION PROGRAMS Inspection Planning
INSPECTION PLANNING
Selecting the 'Planning' option from the Inspections Program Menu will display the
following screen :
Figure 6. 1 - Inspection Planning Screen
This screen displays 2 sets of figures. The first set details the actual length of inspections that
have taken place in previous years. The second set represents the length of bridges
requiring inspections in this and later years, according to the Policy for Inspections.
Policy for Inspections
All bridges will have a Detailed Inspection at least once every 5 years. All bridges not
undergoing a treatment will have a Routine Inspection that year.
Bridges which are to have a Detail Inspection in a particular year will not have a Routine
Inspection that year.
A bridge with Condition Mark 3 or more will be scheduled for a Detailed Inspection at two
yearly intervals.
Procedure
The date the figures were previously updated is displayed. To ensure the latest figures are
displayed, select the Update option by pressing U.
6. INSPECTION PROGRAMS Inspection Planning
INSPECTION PLANNING (Cont'd)
This screen can be printed by pressing P.
Notes: The lengths of bridge displayed do not include short bridges (< 6m) or wet
crossings.
Routine Inspection figures include Inventory Inspections. The years represent

Financial Years.
The figures for 'Required Inspections' in successive years assume that the
required Detailed Inspections are carried out in the earlier years.
6. INSPECTION PROGRAMS Create Inspection Pakets
CREATE INSPECTION PAKETS
Selecting the 'Create' option from the Inspections Pakets Menu will display the following
screen :
Figure 6.2 - Create Paket Screen
The previous budget length is used as the default. Type a new budget length and press
Enter. You will then be asked if you want to include both National and Provincial bridges or only one
category. Select the required option (usually both). The Paket will then be created and
the following screen is then displayed :
Figure 6.3 - Inspection Paket Lengths
Notes: The Routine Inspection Paket Length is created as a by-product of the Detailed
Inspection Paket creation. The Scheduled figure is the length that should have
been inspected according to Policy (Refer Page 6-2).
The selection of bridges for the Paket is carried out automatically according to the
Policy for Inspections. The selection process starts from the first bridge in the
province ie. Bridges on Link 001, and proceeds to the higher-number links.
If this method is not appropriate (eg. in the early stages of IBMS implementation while there
are still many bridges requiring Detailed Inspections), then the Paket can be modified
using the 'Review' option.
6. INSPECTION PROGRAMS Printing Options
PRINTING OPTIONS
Several options are available for printing Inspection Pakets and other Inspection documents.
Figure 6.4 - Printing Options Screen
Routine Inspection Paket : This option will print every bridge in the Province with a
note in the 'CATATAN' column of the Report indicating
the requirement for inspection. (Sample Report IBMS-DI1
Page A-60)
Bridges with a blank in this column should have a Routine

Inspection.
Detailed Inspection Paket : This option will print only those bridges in the Detailed
Inspection Paket. Bridges are listed according to Link
Number but are grouped into their respective Cabang.
(Sample Report IBMS-DI2 Page A-62)
Routine Inspection Form : This option will print the Routine Inspection Form (one
bridge per page) for all bridges in the Routine Paket.
(Sample Report IBMS-DI3 Page A-64)
Detailed Inspection Form : This option will print the bridge Inventory and Detailed
Inspection data (one bridge per page) for all bridges in the
Detailed Paket, for updating in the field. (Sample Report
IBMS-DI4 Page A-66)
Inventory Data Form : This option prints the Inventory data only, for all bridges in
the particular province. Normal Scoping and Filtering can
be applied (Refer Page 12-6). eg. to restrict the report to
those bridges in the Detailed Paket, set a condition or
filter to COMINSPEC = 'D'. (Sample Report IBMS-DI5
Page A-68)
Reconciliation - Detailed : This option prints a 'Reconciliation Report' comparing the

current Detailed Inspections Paket with those bridges
actually receiving a Detailed Inspection in the current
financial year. (Sample Report IBMS-D16 Page A-70)
Bridges Not Yet Inspected : This option prints a report listing all bridges marked for an
inspection in this financial year which have yet to be
inspected. (Sample Report IBMS-D17 Page A-72)
6. INSPECTION PROGRAMS Review Inspection Pakets
REVIEW INSPECTION PAKETS
Selecting the 'Review' option enables the user to modify the current Inspection Paket by
including or excluding individual bridges. This is normally done after creating a paket.
This option can also be used to view the Inspection Paket in its current form.
When this option is selected the following screen is displayed :

7. PLANNING
GENERAL INFORMATION
Bridge Planning under the IBMS consists of three processes:
• Technical Screening - to identify bridges which are in poor condition or

which have insufficient load or traffic capacity, and to recommend a
treatment for those bridges.
• Economic Evaluation - to evaluate the recommenced treatments assigned to

bridges in the Technical Screening process, and to rank the bridges in terms
of economic priority.
• Preparation of Indicative Works Programs - to allocate bridges to

Works Programs in a specific year.
The Bridge Planning Module in the IBMS uses a Systems Analysis approach to Economic
Evaluation, and is used to prepare 'indicative' works programs and 'long lists' of bridges.
A different approach to Economic Evaluation is used to finalise the works programs. This
process is carried out under the Bridge Programming Module (refer Section 8), and involves
selecting alternative 'treatment strategies' for individual bridges.
The BMS Planning and Programming Manual contains a more detailed description of the
Economic Analysis Methodology.
7. PLANNING Technical Screening
TECHNICAL SCREENING
Procedure :
• Select the Planning Menu from the Main Menu (Option 4)
• Highlight the 'Screening' option and select Option 1 from the pop-up
menu
• Press Enter to commence the Technical Screening process
• The IBMS will only screen those bridges which require it.
When to Run Technical Screening
• After editing bridge data
• After importing new province data

2. PLANNING AND PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW

Figure 2.1 is a flowchart of the Planning and Programming process.

Figure 2.1 - Planning and Programming Overview

PROCEDURAL OVERVIEW (Cont'd)

Essentially the steps involved in Planning and Programming are:

• Prepare and enter all relevant data

- Bridge data, inspection data

• Technically Screen the bridge database

• Economically Evaluate and rank all screened bridges

• Allocate ranked projects according to budget availability

• Prepare individual treatment strategies

• Commit bridges if necessary

• Re-allocate bridges according to revised budgets

• Print replacement/rehabilitation programs

Technical Screening - examines all bridges and flags those

Economic Evaluation - determines costs for all flagged

Economic Ranking - ranks these projects by the

Allocation - assigns projects from the ranked list

Treatment Analysis - decides definitive treatment, cost

PROCEDURAL OVERVIEW (Cont'd)

Known Bridge Replacement/Rehabilitation Projects

• Is the condition data in the database incorrect ?

• Is the traffic data for the link incorrect ?

• Are the unit costs of treatment unrealistic ?

• Bridge data must be correct

• Previous years Works Programs must be in the Monitoring system
