Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A rapid increase in the use of smart and digital technologies in construction accelerates the transformation of the AEC industry. However, issues relating to data interoperability, information security, technology maturity, return on investment, and skilled workforce shortage still exist and prevent the implementation of these digital technologies in practice. In this Special Issue, we would like to invite researchers to address these issues from various perspectives, including (but not limited to) the following:
- BIM/CIM/digital twin;
- Deep learning/artificial intelligence;
- Computer vision;
- Internet of Things and wireless sensor networks;
- Knowledge graph/NLP;
- Construction robotics;
- Mathematical modeling and simulation;
- Lean construction.

Abstract: In recent years, wireless sensors have gradually replaced the traditional limited sensors with their advantages of small size, low cost and high accuracy, and there is an increasing interest in the application of wireless sensor networks in bridge structural health monitoring. Using wireless sensor nodes to collect information from various parts of the bridge, the data is transmitted to the signal receiving base station and then the bridge health status is derived through certain data processing and analysis to assist the monitoring workers to make correct decisions. However, there are limitations in this research, how to solve the power consumption and efficiency problems in data acquisition and transmission, and how to choose the right type of wireless sensors and deployment locations on different bridge types. The purpose of this study is to review the research on the application of wireless sensor networks in the field of bridge structural health monitoring. Using a systematic evaluation approach, a total of 73 compliant papers were evaluated in this study, and the review identified the sensing techniques, data techniques, and modal evaluation guidelines that are currently in mainstream use in the field. The study shows that the current scholars pay more attention to the problems arising in the data acquisition and transmission process and the optimal deployment scheme of wireless sensor networks, and propose corresponding technical challenges and solutions.
