Summary
Modern transportation infrastructure, encompassing bridges, tunnels, roads, rails, and associated structures, is under escalating pressure. Aging infrastructure, increasing traffic volumes and loads, and extreme weather intensify the need for uninterrupted service, demand robust solutions for ensuring structural integrity, safety, and long-term sustainability. Traditional visual and periodic manual inspections are often insufficient for the timely detection of hidden structural damage. This Special Issue seeks advanced research on Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) for transportation infrastructure. Our goal is to achieve real-time condition assessment, early damage detection and predictive maintenance by leveraging advanced sensors, artificial intelligence/machine learning analysis, non-destructive testing methods and digital twins.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
· AI/ML technology for damage identification and service life prediction of transportation facilities.
· NDT (ultrasonic, GPR) for bridges, tunnels, rails, roads.
· Digital twins integrated with BIM/GIS.
· Application of drone and robotic technologies for detailed inspection of hard-to-reach areas.
· Field deployments and practical case studies.
