16DIGGING DEEPERIntelligent monitoringWith advancements in AI, it is now possible to monitor bridge health in real time. Smart sensors can detect a bridge%u2019s response to multiple environmental and climatic factors such as temperature, wind speed, seismic movements, and vehicular loads. The data from the sensors can be processed and analysed in a fraction of a second, allowing engineers to accurately assess the structural condition and material degradation of a bridge. In contrast, traditional approaches rely on rough estimates from numerical models based on assumptions, simple theoretical formulae or small-scale laboratory tests that may differ significantly from real-life situations. This explains why the intelligent health monitoring and maintenance system can achieve unprecedented accuracy on a full-scale bridge.FOREVER YOUNG
