Long-term data intensive wireless structural monitoring: Three years of experiences on the stork bridge

Abstract

In the last decade, wireless sensor networks have become an intensively investigated tool for monitoring applications. Many field experiments with short-term deployments demonstrated their advantages. Very little, however, is known about the performance of wireless sensor network in mid- and long-term deployments. This paper reports about the experiences in developing, deploying and maintaining a wireless monitoring system on a cable stay bridge. © RILEM 2013.
