Sensor Based Bridge Condition Monitoring System Using GSM

In this paper, a new bridge health monitoring system is suggested. Basically, in this project we are going to monitor the parameters of the bridge which will help us to maintain the bridge and detect the faults in it. The real time safety evaluation of bridge includes the following components:(1) real time analysis of pressure (2) real time analysis of temprature (3) real time analysis of tilt (4) real time analysisn of weight (5) real time analysis of flood (6) real time analysis of boat detection. The sensors will detect the condition of changing parameter of the bridge. The sensors installed on main cables, hangers, decks.towers etc detects the strain, acceleration, temprature,wind and water level. The advancement in wireless technology has provided a motive to develop the wireless network based bridge health monitoring system. Sensor technologies have made the monitoring process more accurate and fast zigbee wireless network can be used among sensors in the bridge for short distance but we use GSM between the bridge and management center for long distance data communication. GSM technology is suggested to send the data to the remote location in which the maintenance office is located. This project is useful to monitoring the faults and error in the bridge and will help to prevent the loss of human life. It will also save the hazards which will creats a distractions in human life.
