Public road infrastructure is developed all around the world. To save resources, ensure
public safety, and provide longer‐lasting road infrastructure, structural health monitoring …

Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) optical sensors are state-of-the-art technology that can be
integrated into the road structure, providing real-time traffic-induced strain readings and …

Pavement design is essentially and usually a structural long-term evaluation process which
is needed to ensure that traffic loads are efficiently distributed at all levels of the total road …

Over the last few years optical fibre sensor systems have been developed and their use
reported for the monitoring of large civil engineering structures. In this way they have shown …

The rapid expansion of the optical fiber telecommunication industry due to the explosion of
the Internet has substantially driven down the cost of optical components, making fiber optic …

Historically, due to the high cost of optical devices, fiber-optics sensor systems were only
employed in niche areas where conventional electrical sensors are not suitable. This …

We present results of a fiber optic structural health monitoring (SHM) system on an
operational passenger railroad in Hong Kong. The system is based on a network of FBG …

The concept of structural health monitoring has been the subject of research over the last
few years, particularly in civil and structural engineering where ageing infrastructure is of …

Strain of massive structures, such as highway pavement systems, varies in every direction
and it contains all the significant information about the safety of the civil structures. In this …

Road infrastructure is a key public asset because it benefits the social and economic
development of any country. It plays an important role in the development of the industrial …
