Implementation of Wireless Data Acquisition System on Bridge Health Monitoring System
The focus of this paper is to introduce a wireless data acquisition system developed by the Materials Technology Center (MTC) at Southern Illinois University (SIUC). This wireless data acquisition system is being implemented toward the health monitoring of highway bridges. Today, there are many technologies capable of building a wireless sensor network and Wi-Fi technology is one of them. MTCs bridge health monitoring system consists of sensor nodes and wireless routers. In essence, the bridge health monitoring system is an Internet based system and is connected to an IP of the sensor node to obtain the data. The real-time data can be displayed in graph format on a web-based health, monitoring system. The user can check the real-time data as well as retrieve the data from a database by connecting to the Internet. The field test of MTCs wireless data acquisition is being conducted on a bridge with various sensors such as a strain gauge or thermocouple to see the stability and real-time performance of the acquisition system and to exam the integration with the bridge health monitoring system. It must be pointed out that the wireless data acquisition developed at MTC is a new platform of technology whereby all actions (e. g., data acquisition and health monitoring) are Internet/web- based hardware and software and deviate from the conventional data acquisition systems. We refer to this Internet/web-based software and hardware design concept as YenEsiS<TM>, an overarching system to upgrade old technology to new platrorms. The products are referred to as Yentronics<TM>.
