AI-Powered SHM: Real-Time Bridge Deterioration Monitoring with Embedded Sensors
-
This case study details a live trial deploying SM:ART retrofit sensors on bridge infrastructure with Northern Ireland's Department for Infrastructure (DfI).
-
The system uses embedded multi-parameter sensing and AI-driven analysis to provide early warnings of deterioration, supporting evidence-based maintenance and reducing life-cycle costs.
-
Key insights, lessons learned from the first installations, and the potential implications for wider adoption across bridge networks will be presented.
