ABSTRACT
A bridge monitoring system is significant to the structural
health monitoring of both old/new bridges and flyovers an
infrastructure daily used by citizens of their respective
countries. The following report is proposed and developed an
architecture for bridge monitoring on a more secure level
taking into consideration the various parameters that are
involved in the structural health of bridges. A 3-level
distributed structure is adopted in the monitoring system,
which includes a central server, intelligent acquisition node,
and local controller. Acquisition nodes are located across the
bridge. One local controller manages all the acquisition nodes.
Every acquisition node has 8 channels, which can easily and
approximately sample the deviation of the line of sight, the
vibration of the bridge due to a load of various transports and
as well the water level which when cross a threshold lead to a
flood. To get high precision data, a 10 bits A/D converter is
being used. Compared to the traditional method, the proposed
architecture has two features. The acquisition node is a smart
device based on a powerful controller. Signals of field sensors
are analyzed and real-time compressed in the acquisition node.
Only the processing results are sent to the local controller
through the IEEE 802.11 wireless network. This operation can
relieve the load of a central server. The intelligent monitoring
system has run on a large span bridge. Running results show
that the proposed system is stable and effective.

1. INTRODUCTION
This system detects a load of vehicles (high amplitude
vibrations), water level, and deviation from the line of sight. If
any of the water level, water pressure, vehicle load on the bridge
and the line of sight deviates from its threshold value then it
generates the alert through buzzer and auto barrier. At present,
there have been various systems proposed but what makes the
following proposed system different from the rest is making
utmost use of the technology and various software modules
which will along with the various detection based on parameters
also notify the user if the bridge undergoes any damage.
Whenever bridge undergoes any damage or even collapses, there
is tremendous property loss as well as human life loss. One of
the main reasons being the people being completely unaware of
the condition of the bridge in their location. Technology being
so wide, the users are still not notified about the condition of the
bridges, if they can use the bridge or no. Currently, there have
been some water level detectors but in existing system water
level is checked manually.
In this application, various parameters will be considered at both
the ends of the bridge. To check the water level we the water
sensor is being used i.e. if the water level crosses the set
threshold limit then the bridge will not be allowed to use, to the
user or the localities.The additional features that have been added
in the proposed system are that if the water level crosses the
threshold limit, if the line of sight deviates from its original
measure or if high amplitude vibrations are detected on the
bridge then immediately alert message will be broadcasted to the
police station, municipal office and to the risk team. This implies
that a prior measure is being taken to monitor the bridges and
provide mere safety to the citizens.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY
This project aims to simplify the system for selecting bridge
tracking devices. Many bridges within India are obsolete or
structurally deficient to safely increase the life of those bridges,
the inspection would be vital. Bridge engineers have many duties
and it's far not possible to expect one to know. Our device will
sense the crack inside the bridge and signal might be given to
govern rooms. The sensors and the LCD are interfaced with the
Atmega. The sensors used are Flex. The value is set so that if
there is any sort of tilt or little crack and if it crosses our set value
then the crack is detected. [1]
