Developing a Telematics Platform for Bridge Monitoring and Health Prognostics

一项合作研究工作将在北卡罗来纳州立大学的工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC）和辛辛那提大学的工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC）的智能维护系统中进行。该项目将重点开发用于桥梁监测和健康预测的远程信息处理平台，因为老化和老化的桥梁正在成为美国经济实力和增长中越来越严重的瓶颈。该项目的方法整合了桥梁损伤物理的广泛研究和I/UCRC进行的桥梁监测系统的仪器仪表，用于修复复合材料的建筑和桥梁，以及I/UCRC为智能维护系统开发的基于未来的智能预测代理，以准确量化和预测桥梁恶化。钢筋桥梁健康预测技术的发展将推动当今桥梁健康监测系统的发展。它将使桥梁设计人员、建造者和管理员能够智能地利用适当的信息，从而大大降低桥梁整个生命周期的成本。

A collaborative research effort will be performed at the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Repair of Buildings and Bridges with Composites at North Carolina State University and the I/UCRC for Intelligent Maintenance Systems at the University of Cincinnati. The project will focus on Developing a Telematics Platform for Bridge Monitoring and Health Prognostics, as aged and deteriorating bridges are becoming more sever choke points in the economic strength and growth of the United States. The approach in this project integrates the extensive research on bridge damage physics and the instrumentation of bridge monitoring systems conducted at the I/UCRC for Repair of Building and Bridges with Composites , with the future-based smart prognostic agent, developed by the I/UCRC for Intelligent Maintenance Systems to accurately quantify and predict bridge deterioration.The development of health prediction for reinforced bridges will advance the state-of-the-art technologies in today's bridge health monitoring systems. It will enable bridge designers, builders, and administrators to intelligently utilize appropriate information, which will greatly reduce cost throughout a bridge entire life cycle.
