ABSTRACT = {As of April 2019, India has 1,42,126 kilometres of National Highways and 67,368 kilometres of railway tracks that
reach even the most remote parts of the country. Bridges are critical for both passenger and freight movement in
the country. Because bridges play such an important part in the transportation system, their safety and upkeep
must be prioritized. Manual Condition Monitoring has the disadvantage of being sluggish, unreliable, and ineffi-
cient. The Internet of Things has given structural monitoring a boost. Significant decreases in the cost of electronics and connection, together with the expansion of cloud platforms, have made it possible to collect large
amounts of data remotely, aggregate it, and perform essential analysis to generate actionable insights. This
research focuses on a scalable system for monitoring the state of bridges, such as vibration and loading, employing
multimodal inputs, controllers, and Wi-Fi modules. The accelerometer and load cells were installed on the prototype, tested for a sample load (56.21 gramsavg, 590 gramsmax, and 147.66 gramsrms) with induced vibration
(5.87 m/sec2
avg, 18 m/sec2
max, and 7.04 m/sec2
rms) that are processed, displayed on-board, and uploaded to ThingSpeak cloud service. This system will aid the maintenance personnel in remotely monitoring it. This system can
send out notifications if any of these parameters exceeds their threshold value, allowing you to take preventive
measures ahead of time.},
