| Abstract: |
A prototype system has been developed that incorporates a previously proposed design of a system that remotely monitors a bridge in real time and that provides a valuable source of information for managing response to a natural disaster, maintaining its structure, and estimating the extent of structural fatigue. The system consists of various sensors, high-speed data transmission networks, and an information centre that collects and disseminates high-level information on how well a bridge performs. A prototype system for monitoring the Metropolitan expressway in Tokyo, Japan, that has a lot of excessively-loaded heavy vehicles, has been developed, and it was found to be both reliable and durable. |
