AI-Powered SHM: Real-Time Bridge Deterioration Monitoring with Embedded Sensors

15:00 - 15:20
  • This case study details a live trial deploying SM:ART retrofit sensor systems on bridge infrastructure in collaboration with Transport Scotland.
  • The system uses multi-parameter sensing and AI-driven analysis to provide early warning of deterioration, supporting evidence-based maintenance decisions and reduced life-cycle costs.
  • Key insights, lessons learned from the initial installations, and the potential implications for wider adoption across Scotland’s bridge network will be presented.
