  • S. Chase (2001), NBIP Report: Nearly 60,000 bridges in U.S.

evaluated as structurally deficient.

Over 580,000 highway bridges in U.S. mandated for biannual

evaluations. Advanced Sensing Technology for Autonomous SHM: Rapid, accurate, low-cost

  • E. G. Straser, and A. S. Kiremidjian (1998): Installation of wired

system can take about 75% of testing time

  • M. Celebi (2002): Each sensor channel and data recording system: $2,000;

Installation (cabling, labor, etc.) per wired channel: $2,000. Traditional DAQ System: wire-based Future Wireless DAQ System

Wireless SHM prototype system Jointly developed by researchers in Stanford University and the University of Michigan

Reliable Beacon Signal Synchronization Protocol Reliable Beacon Signal Synchronization Protocol

Broadcast Beacon signal to all WSUs Begin sensor data sampling and storage Verify with each WSU if it received the Beacon signal A WSU didn't receive the Beacon signal Inform WSUs* one by one to restart * WSU: Wireless Sensing Unit ** CS: Central Server

Y Received beacon signal

Wait and Respond to Beacon verification Restart and acknowledge with CS**, wait for Beacon signal Wait for data collection command from CS Receive restart command

Y

Start data collection from WSUs one by one, and round by round Transmit data to CS Received data collection request and data is ready
