Situation-awareness for structural health monitoring using wireless sensor networks

Description of research

The focus of this research is on design and development of distributed mechanisms for online assessment of structural health using wireless sensor networks. The aim is to increase real-time decision making functionality of the network through sensor fusion and collaborative outlier and event detection. Dynamic nature of the network and lack of proper knowledge about all factors influencing health of structures necessitate having a self-learning and self-adapting system in place. To this end, in this research maintaining quality of real-time feedback and control as well as early warning for potential failure and damage of the structures without generating false alarms or missing important occurrences are of high importance.
