Drive-by Bridge Damage Monitoring: Concise Review

Bridges are amongst the essential elements of transport infrastructure, but are subject to continuous degradation due to environmental effects and may experience increases in traffic weight and volume over time. Therefore, they require continuous monitoring to ensure maintenance and hence their structural integrity. Recent studies firmly established the Technological Readiness Levels (TRLs) of the sensor-based SHM techniques. However, the necessity for power, data storage and transfer and the complexity of the installation hinder successful deployment of the approach to a wide range of bridges [1]. Moreover, this procedure requires a lane closure, which results in a devastating effect on the roadway capacity [2-4] Recently, there has been a paradigm shift in the bridge health monitoring by moving the instrumentation from the bridge body to a transit vehicle, this concept is known as “Drive-by Bridge inspection” [5,6].
