IOT based android application for smart bridge monitoring system

Abstract

Transport networks be it roadways or railways consist of a huge number of bridges which are critical in reducing the distance and time of travel. As the bridges experience huge amount of traffic it is significant to deploy and maintain a Bridge Monitoring System. This system should monitor the various safety parameters of the bridge such as load, vibration and tilt continuously so that preventive action can be taken if any anomaly is detected. In this paper we propose a smart bridge monitoring system using IoT. Various IoT enabled sensors are deployed over the bridge which periodically measure the safety parameters and then relays it to the micro-controller. The micro-controller takes appropriate action and send this data to the cloud which in turn notifies the end user on his android application.
