ABSTRACT - A bridge monitoring system is significant to the structural health monitoring of both old/new bridges and flyovers an infrastructure daily used by citizens of their respective countries. The following report is proposed and developed an architecture for bridge monitoring on a more secure level taking into consideration the various parameters that are involved in
the structural health of bridges. A 3-level distributed structure is adopted in the monitoring system, which includes a central server, intelligent acquisition node, and local controller. Acquisition nodes are located across the bridge. One local controller manages all the acquisition nodes. Every acquisition node has 8 channels, which can easily and approximately sample the deviation of the line of sight, the vibration of the bridge due to a load of various transports and as well the water level which when cross a threshold lead to a flood. To get high precision
data, a 10 bits A/D converter is being used. Compared to the traditional method, the proposed architecture has two features. The acquisition node is a smart device based on a powerful controller. Signals of field sensors are analyzed and real-time compressed in the acquisition node. Only the processing results are sent to the local controller through the IEEE 802.11 wireless network.
This operation can relieve the load of a central server. The intelligent monitoring system has run on a large span bridge. Running results show that the proposed system is stable and effectiv
