Mission
UBMS Research Group was formed to sustain research in bridge management systems. Post enhancements in IBMS which resulted in UBMS, it was deemed essential to further enhance the system to integrate the most innovative technologies that were emerging on the horizon. Technologies like videography using UAV/ Drones, use of photogrammetry tools to create 3D models, creation of partial or full bridge 3D model using UBMS data, partial usage of Bridge Information models, Structural Health Monitoring were all deemed essential to be incorporated within the domain of Bridge Management. UBMS Research Group was born out of this necessity. Within few months of formation, we have integrated most of the technologies and now we turn our focus on Conversion of ANALYTICS OF UBMS to suit usage in other Countries. URG has evolved the GLOBAL ANALYTICS FOR BRIDGE MANAGEMENT which has universal application.
UBMS Research Group was formed to sustain research in bridge management systems. Its research focuses includes "Bridge Management Analytics". Analytics module enables generating Deterioration models, risk analysis leading to Optimization of fund allocations to most deserving bridges. This Analytics module can be enhanced to include SHM modules and LCCA modules. Enhanced module is very powerful tool to ensure Sustainability and Economic Growth of the area influenced by the Bridge. It is a versatile tool in which Data can be imported directly from UBMS or the User can input essential data into the input screen in User Interface of the Analytics module.

Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
