User Certification Module

August 20, 2021

Version 6.6 will also provide a module for managing user certifications within BrM, another high priority identified by BrM users. The design of and funding for this enhancement was a joint initiative of the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT), the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), and the AASHTOWare Bridge Task Force. The module provides agencies with the ability to configure user certifications, experience requirements, and ultimately qualifications within BrM. The software contains logic to identify user qualifications for certain actions by using the certifications and experience information configured to support agency requirements. Additionally, users will be provided with a screen to manage and update their own work experience and certifications, including submission for approvals. The module provides a central location to review submitted user certifications for approval and allows administrators to monitor and manage current certifications and qualifications existing in the system.

Overall, the addition of this module assists in the complete bridge inspection and management process, which is a goal of the Task Force.

The AASHTOWare Bridge Management Task Force is excited to continue its joint development effort with SCDOT and MDOT and bring additional enhancements and modules to the BrM community.
