Abstract:Continuously monitoring a bridge’s health by sensor technologies has been widely used to maintain the operation of a roadwork while protecting public users’ safety. However, monitoring and inspecting numerous bridges in a state is a labor-intense and costly task. A recent survey (Gastineau et al. 2009) shows that among 25 sensors used in 38 companies, there is no autonomous system capable of inspecting bridges. The authors propose to advance the bridge monitoring technology a step further by developing a quadcopter with heterogeneous sensors, which aims to enable autonomous bridge inspection.
