Wireless Sensor Networks for Bridges

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) for bridges are interconnected sensors placed on a bridge that monitor its structural health. These sensors gather data on factors like stress, vibrations, temperature, and movement, then wirelessly transmit this information to a central system. This continuous monitoring helps detect early signs of wear or damage, enabling timely maintenance and ensuring safety. WSNs reduce the need for manual inspections, provide real-time insights, and enhance the longevity and reliability of bridge infrastructure through efficient, remote surveillance.
