As smart sensor networks and geographical information systems (GIS) are evolving nowadays, applications of remote monitoring in wide spread geographical areas are becoming cost-effective and possible. An example of such applications is the structural health status monitoring of highway bridges that connect roads in both rural and urban areas. Many of these bridges are subject to deterioration due to external and internal factors. Online, real-time structural health monitoring is a resourceful complimentary tool to facilitate rapid field inspection. Bridge maintenance and infrastructure managers can easily use this application to safeguard the performance and safety of these vital structures. This project presents an autonomous sensor network system to monitor structural health in highways bridges. The proposed system consists of Accelerometer, flex sensor, load cell, buzzer, GSM module and wifi . The sensors gather the bridge health signs and transmit them promptly via GSM and wifi to the management and evaluation middleware for further processing. Based on the national bridge inventory rating scale, an early warning fuzzy logic based engine is developed to process the status of a given bridge and alert the concerned operator/s regarding any abnormality. A prototype was built in the laboratory to validate the proposed system. Analysis of testing results and comparisons with existing monitoring systems are also discussed. Operators can access the bridge real-time data through mobile phone. The system is cost effective and user friendly.
