Smart Monitoring of Civil Infrastructures

In this presentation, I will show a case study of smart monitoring applied on pavement road to detect the distresses and verify the real state of life of the infrastructures. The methodology used is based on the photogrammetric technique that allow us to carry out a 3D model that has the follow features: low cost process, low time process, user friendly, repeatability. These features consent to make a planning with frequently acquisition to guarantee a reliability monitoring. It works with the comparison between the dense clouds of the 3D models acquired in different moment: the mean square distance between the dense clouds shows where there has been a new distress or an increasing of an old distress. The study identifies low-cost but accurate strategies and techniques to collect road condition data mainly using simple and readily available devices such as smartphones and drones
