SustIMS - Sustainable Infrastructure Management System is a new, innovative and top-line intelligent system for managing road infrastructure maintenance, whose development results from a cooperation between Ascendi, a Motorway Operator, and two Universities (Minho and Nova-Lisboa), partially financed by an EU program for innovation. SustIMS is a cutting-edge decision support tool for managing road maintenance, which integrates historic and real time information available in a GIS platform in order to predict performance of infrastructure elements (pavements, bridges, retaining walls, slopes, telematics, etc), advising on the best maintenance and/or rehabilitation strategies to achieve the most cost-effective solutions within a long life perspective.
