METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PERFORMANCE: MONITORING, CONTROL, OPERATIONS, ANALYSIS AND ADAPTIVE LEARNING

摘要

A system for measuring, monitoring and controlling the performance of bridges and other infrastructure creates a database for analysis of real time performance and learning through adaptive algorithms allowing the performance to be analyzed over time and for changes in performance against the specific bridge or infrastructure and other bridges or infrastructure in the a network of such infrastructure.

主权项

1. A bridge monitoring system comprising
a plurality of sensor modules configured to be distributed on or near a bridge and to transmit data relevant to a bridge structure or an environmental condition; at least one local control unit configured (1) to be located on or near the bridge and to receive data from the plurality of sensor modules, (2) to process the data received from the plurality of sensor modules, and (3) to transmit the processed data received from the sensor modules; and a central unit configured to receive processed data from the local control unit.
