AI and IIoT Convergence Towards Automated Bridge Inspection Aingura IIoT, Spain
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and machine learning technologies can provide useful real-world applications on the structural health monitoring (SHM) sector giving useful actionable insights towards bridge maintenance. Therefore, the combination of data acquisition, pre-processing and machine learning techniques, working within embedded computing nodes located at bridges, can provide indicators to help on their maintenance. These types of solutions can help to prioritize bridges depending on their health using objective indicators that can help to improve current inspections based on subjective parameters. Therefore, this keynote describes state-of-the-art advances in each IIoT phase towards SHM, in terms of bridge instrumentation, new feature generation, dynamic machine learning approaches and edge computing. As an example of these applications, a use-cases involving four real deployments at Massachusetts (U.S.A) area are described. Effectiveness of these methodologies in terms of estimating the modal parameters of the bridge and monitoring their trend as an indicator of bridge health is shown. Specifically, the keynote will showcase how the bridge behavior pattern is developed and monitored based on normal traffic, without complex approaches such as finite elements models or expensive instrumentation, enabling the solution the be potentially applied to conventional bridges.
It is with great pleasure that an occasion to share the new achievements on the topics of Bridge Maintenance, Safety and Management is going to be presented at BARCELONA IABMAS 2022: 11th International Conference on Bridge Maintenance, Safety and Management. The first tenth conferences in the series were very successful, both technically and academically, and IABMAS conferences have become established events in the field of bridge maintenance, safety and management and related topics. In this edition, we are coming back to the location where the first conference of the series was organized twenty years ago: Barcelona. We intend to make the 11th edition of the conference another successful edition of the IABMAS meetings.
IABMAS 2022 will be held in Barcelona, Spain in July 11-15th, 2022, at the Vertex Conference Hall with modernized audio-visual facilities and very good connections to nearby hotels, the airport and the city center.
The objectives of BARCELONA IABMAS 2022 are to address all aspects of bridge maintenance, safety and management. Specifically, it deals with: bridge repair and rehabilitation issues; bridge management systems; needs of bridge owners, financial planning, whole life costing and investment for the future; bridge related safety, risk and economic issues. The implications and applications of Big Data and AI in the management of existing bridge stocks is also one of the relevant objectives.
