ABSTRACT
The aging transportation infrastructures require optimized maintenance programs, however, often data and monitoring systems are unavailable to support strategic decisions due to combined impact of high instrumentation costs and accessibility issues. The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) will test the feasibility of indirect structural health monitoring (iSHM) solutions within the two-year exploratory research project MITICA (MonItoring Transport Infrastructures with Connected and Automated vehicles). As the name implies, the project will investigate synergies between cooperative, connected and automated mobility (CCAM) and smart infrastructures for the monitoring of existing infrastructural network components, in particular bridges. A critical review of methods and strategies including Intelligent Transportation Systems for SHM is a prerequisite for the project development. This study presents a review of available solutions (technologies and methods) following a system approach that will provide valuable input to the experimental campaign of vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) integration, by identifying challenges, limitations and potentials of iSHM-based methods.
