There are several different types of bridge monitoring systems. Some of the most common ones include:
1. Structural health monitoring systems: These systems use sensors to measure various parameters, such as strain, vibration, temperature, and pressure, to assess the condition of different components of the bridge.
2. Nondestructive testing systems: These systems use various techniques, such as infrared thermography and ultrasonic testing, to detect defects and anomalies in the bridge components without causing any damage to the structure.
3. Wireless sensor networks: These systems use wireless sensor nodes to monitor different parameters of the bridge, such as temperature, humidity, and vibration.
4. Video monitoring systems: These systems use cameras to capture images and videos of the bridge to detect any signs of distress, such as cracks or deformation.
5. Automated bridge inspection systems: These systems use drones or robotic systems to inspect the bridge components and capture images and videos for further analysis.
