In‐fleet structural health monitoring of roadway bridges using connected and autonomous vehicles’ data

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 39, Issue 14, Page 2122-2139, 15 July 2024.
Abstract Drive‐by structural health monitoring (SHM) is a cost‐efficient alternative to the direct SHM of short‐ to medium‐size bridges requiring no sensors to be installed on the structure. However, drive‐by SHM is generally known as a short‐term monitoring technique due to the challenges associated with using multiple passages of instrumented ...
