Structural Health Monitoring

The safety, security and fitness for purpose of roads, bridges and other transport infrastructure is the subject of NICTA's innovative approach to intelligent systems for continuous monitoring of critical assets. Technological advances in sensors, wireless communication and processing, combined with energy efficient algorithms, can make 24 hour in-service monitoring a cost effective reality.

In collaboration with our research partner, the Roads and Traffic Authority of New South Wales, NICTA is embarking on projects which will instrument selected infrastructure with a variety of sensors, processing nodes and short and long-range radios. Together with NICTA's research facility management software this infrastructure will become useful testbeds not only for NICTA researchers but also for other organisations seeking to research or demonstrate novel approaches to continuous infrastructure monitoring.

From imagination to impact

NICTA expects to produce and foster world leading solutions which generate significant benefits to the owners and operators of critical infrastructure from design and across an extended lifetime lifetime of performance
