Abstract

Effective and efficient structural monitoring of bridges is an important factor in ensuring a safe transportation system. In this effort this paper presents the design development and implementation of a cloud based laboratory scale bridge monitoring system that can assist the management for real-time monitoring. Accelerometers are used to collect the vibration data and then passed to the cloud after some initial processing through an embedded system. The cloud server as well as a local server are used for further data analysis and web presentation for remoter user.
