Remote visualized health monitoring of cable-supported bridges

This paper presents a study in an effort to develop a remote visualized health monitoring system for three cable- supported bridges in Hong Kong in accordance with the existing on-structure instrumentation system. The envisaged system remotely delivers the measurement data to the user's deck top and processes the data in a visualized form and in an on-line way. The raw data acquired from typical sensors are first transmitted, pre-processed and reorganized into a general-purpose database that can be updated dynamically. Then the data are analyzed and presented to the end user on screen and automatically processed for the monitoring purpose.
