Recent research has explored the potential of using the dynamic response of passing vehicles to conduct Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) efficiently. Various types of vehicles, including cars, vans, trucks, and even manually propelled carts, have been employed in this approach, with different configurations of exciters and receivers. A noteworthy development in this field involves the inclusion of lightweight vehicles like bicycles and scooters. Lightweight vehicles offer several advantages, including their affordability, sustainability, and minimal environmental impact. These vehicles have a negligible impact on the dynamic behavior of structures due to their low speeds and negligible mass, making them ideal for monitoring structures that are challenging to access, such as footbridges. This paper provides a comprehensive review of recent literature on the application of lightweight vehicles in SHM of urban bridges. It emphasizes the potential benefits and current challenges associated with these applications while offering insights into future research directions.

Abstract

Recent research has explored the potential of using the dynamic response of passing vehicles to conduct Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) efficiently. Various types of vehicles, including cars, vans, trucks, and even manually propelled carts, have been employed in this approach, with different configurations of exciters and receivers. A noteworthy development in this field involves the inclusion of lightweight vehicles like bicycles and scooters. Lightweight vehicles offer several advantages, including their affordability, sustainability, and minimal environmental impact. These vehicles have a negligible impact on the dynamic behavior of structures due to their low speeds and negligible mass, making them ideal for monitoring structures that are challenging to access, such as footbridges. This paper provides a comprehensive review of recent literature on the application of lightweight vehicles in SHM of urban bridges. It emphasizes the potential benefits and current challenges associated with these applications while offering insights into future research directions.
