Application of digital transformation in real-time bridge monitoring systems: a case study with GNSS, accelerometer and IoT solution

Abstract

Abstract Digital transformation is a term that has recently become more popular in all industries such as economics, financial fields, and engineering. The development of the Internet of Things, smart sensor systems, and cloud computing is the basis for forming effective solutions in construction monitoring from cyclic monitoring and post-processing to real-time monitoring and processing; from physical storage systems to virtual systems, and connecting every component in the project. This article presents a study and application of advanced devices including GNSS, acceleration sensors and IoT solutions in bridge construction monitoring. The research aims to apply smart devices and IoT to build real-time monitoring modules for bridge projects following the digital transformation trend. The study uses a GNSS N3 Comnav receiver with a sampling interval of 1Hz, an MPU 6050 acceleration sensor with a sampling frequency of 250 Hz, and an ESP Wi-Fi module. The result of the research is a real-time wireless monitoring system that operates effectively and economically and initially processes data with GNSS and high-frequency acceleration sensors.
