Condition Monitoring and Remote Sensing
Monitoring the construction process and condition of existing and new infrastructure is critical for ensuring longevity and durability. In new constructions and repairs that involve PC components, this is much more feasible due to the controlled environment, which also allows for embedded elements with health monitoring capabilities.
Research Topics
- Built-in satellite-sensing system
- PC assessment using digital twinning
- Machine learning for early problem detection through UAV drones
- Self-powered defrosting and monitoring of PC pavement
- AI image-based monitoring of infrastructure
- Smart phone PC pavement monitoring
