%0 Journal Article %T The development and field evaluation of an IoT system of low-power vibration for bridge health monitoring %J Sensors (Basel) %D 2019 %A Tong, Xinlong %A Yang, Hailu %A Wang, Linbing %A Miao, Yinghao %V 19 %N 5 %P s19051222-s19051222 %X Bridge safety is important for the safety of vehicles and pedestrians. This paper presents a study on the development of a low-power wireless acceleration sensor and deployment of the sensors on a wireless gateway and cloud platform following the Internet of Things (IoT) protocols for bridge monitoring. The entire system was validated in a field test on the Chijing bridge in Shanghai. Field evaluations indicated that the developed IoT bridge monitoring system could achieve the functions of real-time data acquisition, transmission, storage and analytical processing to synthesize safety information of the bridge. The demonstrated system was promising as a complete, practical, readily available, low-cost IoT system for bridge health monitoring.
