Monitoring Kingston’s Third Crossing Bridge

Bridges are critical infrastructure assets, which connect transportation networks for the delivery of goods and services and are vital links for first responders. The goal of this research is to advance the state-of-the-art in innovative and cost-effective solutions to monitor the condition of bridge infrastructure using a low-cost sensor network and an intelligent robotic machine, which will be installed on Kingston’s Third Crossing bridge. The project will develop a novel online platform to visualize collected data and automatically inform the user if anomalies are detected. This will have significant benefits for the City of Kingston, who will be able to use the platform to ensure the Third Crossing bridge is behaving as intended and inform any maintenance needs.
