That box connects by arrow to a box reading "bridge register," which connects by arrow to a box in the bottom row reading "network and project-level BMS, bridge engineer." Also on the bottom row are three boxes connected by arrows reading "quality measurement," "advanced training, selection of inspectors," and "development of guidelines and bridge register."
