Highway 40 Closing for Boone Bridge Inspection Monday August 10, 2009 If you're heading to St. Charles this weekend, Highway 40 is not your best option. Westbound 40 from Long Road in St. Louis County to Route 94 in St. Charles County will be closed (weather permitting) while work crews inspect the Daniel Boone Bridge across the Missouri River. The road will close at 5:30 a.m. on August 15 and won't reopen until sometime after 9 p.m. on August 16.

Ø Bridges live for 50-100 years
q Need to make sure they remain
safe for a long time
Ø Smart monitoring and control systems to prevent…
Freeway after 1989 San Francisco Earthquake Minneapolis Bridge Collapse
5
Ø Monitor a bridge using a wireless sensor network
q Detect and localize damages to structures
Ø Smart
q No human effort
Ø Real-time
q Every week q Right after an earthquake
Ø Accurate
q Technology instead of human eyes
Ø Detect and localize damages to structures
q at high spatiotemporal granularities
Ø Challenges
q Computationally intensive q Resource constraints q Long-term monitoring
6
Ø Centralized: stream all data to base station for processing.
q Too energy-consuming for long-term monitoring
Ø Example: Golden Gate Bridge project [Kim IPSN'07].
q Nearly 1 day to collect enough data. q Lifetime of 10 weeks w/4 x 6V lantern battery.
Ø Separate designs of sensor networks (cyber) and damage detection (physical).
Ø Sensor networks focus on data transport. Ø Not concerned with method for damage detection.
7
Ø Dilemma
q Too much sensor data to stream to the base station q Damage detection algorithms are too complex to run
entirely on sensors
➪ Edge computing
q Perform part of computation on sensor nodes q Send (smaller) intermediate results to base station q Complete computation at base station
8
Raw Data
Partial Results
Ø Employ damage detection approach amenable for distributed implementation in sensor networks. Ø Optimally map damage detection algorithm onto distributed architecture.
