Abstract

Supervising Professor: Roger Walker With bridges representing a significant part of the road network in the United States, continual monitoring and early detection of deterioration in these structures is vital to prevent expensive repairs or catastrophic failures. Advances in sensing and information technologies help in monitoring and evaluating the health of a bridge. Currently, all the bridge monitoring systems are static in nature. With the help of TxDOTs Pavement Management Information System (PMIS) survey, the proposed mobile Bridge Monitoring System will periodically monitor these structural changes and help the maintanance management decision making process. The mobile Bridge Monitoring System has been the topic of ongoing research at the Transportation Instrumentation Laboratory for a few years now. The objective of this research is to solve issues related to the proposed Bridge Monitoring System which are necessary for its implementation.
