Why Monitor Infrastructure?
Why Monitor Infrastructure?
◊ To validate the structural designs and characterize performance (e.g., develop database)
◊ To assist with infrastructure maintenance
◊ To design appropriate retrofit measures
◊ Improve seismic risk assessment
◊ To monitor and control the construction process
◊ To characterize loads in situ
◊ Assess load carrying capacities
◊ To assist with emergency response efforts, including building evacuation and traffic control
Structural Health Monitoring
Limitation of traditional methods Dense arrays of sensor are required to effectively monitor structures Wired monitoring systems are expensive, with much of the cost derived
from cabling and installation Centralized data collection is not challenging for monitoring large civil
infrastructure
Cabling & instrumentation for 400 wired strain sensors
Bill Emerson Memorial Bridge SHM system: $1.3M for 86 sensors, ~$15k/sensor (Caicedo et al. 2002; Celebi et al. 2004)

Vision of the Future: Internet of Things
◊ Vast networks of sensors, installed in the urban environment, can serve as the eyes and ears of a first line of defense against various vulnerabilities
◊ Different types of sensors can be envisioned, each reporting information that provides insight to the status of critical infrastructure in real‐time
◊ Wireless Smart Sensors will act as the fundamental building block for such sensor networks□ Low costs allow for dense deployment as needed
□ Modularity provides inherent flexibility for use in both permanent and temporary applications
Smart Sensors
◊ But... what is a smart sensor?
◊ First open source hardware and software platforms developed at Berkeley in the late 1990s as part of DARPA’s Smart Dust project (Mica family of smart sensors).

Service‐oriented Software Framework
Service‐Oriented Architecture (SOA)
◊ Previous smart sensor applications:□ Significant effort to create very specific applications□ Difficult to modify for other applications, even with extensive CS
knowledge
◊ Service‐Oriented Architecture simplifies SHM software development□ Applications are comprised of manageable, modular services that
exchange data in a common format□ The middleware framework connects the services by providing
communication and coordination
