Nowadays, the development of computer network technology (NT) is so rapid that the 21st century is called .net century and the computer network has become indispensable communication medium for human beings. The application of NT in transportation infrastructure administration has also been developed these days. This paper presents a feasible approach of combining NT with Transportation Infrastructure Management System (TIMS), including building available network structure for transportation infrastructure administration, organizing reasonable data flow in TIMS based on network and designing comprehensive software frame and function of TIMS. As a result, a novel frame for TIMS based on computer network has been constructed in this paper. Furthermore, the proposed approach has been applied in building City Infrastructure Management System (CIMS) of Shanghai Municipal Engineering Administrative Department, China, which has been operated for several years successfully.
