The purpose of the Road and Bridge Information Application is to make comprehensive, appropriately accurate and appropriately up-to-date road and bridge information available throughout all parts of DPWH.
Management of the data within the RBIA is therefore a very important responsibility as maintenance of the data quality is vital to the the various applications and users who access this information. For example, traffic, road accident, contract management and other applications will all be relying on the ability to link their information to the common location referencing system in the RBIA so that meaningful reports can be generated to assist with management decision making.
Statistics Division (SD) of Planning Service has been delegated the task of managing the RBIA and the details of their responsibilities are outlined in the [Department Order 54 of Series 2004].
RBIA Data
What types of data are there?
The RBIA is a repository for network level road & bridge inventory and condition data. That is, the information that resides within the RBIA is only suitable for purposes of network level planning (ie. annual, medium and long term plans. for the road network). It cannot be used for project level design work (e.g. pavement design). Project level information will still need to be collected and stored in other applications outside of the RBIA. The following link provides detailed information on the concept of information quality levels.
