Open image in new window Fig. 11 The long-term health monitoring system of highway tunnel.
The application scenario is the monitoring of an highway, and a set of heuristics for labeling the pixels representing the road, the shadows and the cars are proposed.
The work program for permanent automated geodetic monitoring of the highway tunneling allowed us to obtain information about possible changes in the technical state of railway tunnel lining.
Network, intelligence, configuration, and integration are the emerging trends of highway tunnel monitoring, while highway classification management, regional linkage, and network monitoring models represents the development direction of expressway intelligent monitoring.
In 2006, the U.S. Department of Transportation reported the results of InSAR applications for deformation monitoring of slopes nearby the highway transportation projects connecting different states [15].
This paper is concerned with health monitoring of infrastructure hardware like highway bridges using this technique for timely intervention preventing catastrophic failure.
Consequently, it becomes possible to design truck traffic monitoring programs optimized for various types of highway facilities in terms of counting frequency and duration, which further can be performed throughout the year for efficiently operating the resources allocated.
Ideas for improvement in structural longevity and long-term monitoring (from construction to operation) for all types of highway tunnels including extra-long sea highway tunnels with specialized and complex geological conditions have been proposed and put into engineering practice.
To ensure the comfort and safety of drivers, the special structure and environment of highway tunnels demands that intelligent monitoring focus on ventilation, lighting, and ease of rescue in case of an emergency.
