Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The 28th World Congress on Engineering (WCE 2021) will be held from 7 to 9 July 2021 in London, UK, and the conference website can be found at http://www.iaeng.org/WCE2021/index.html.

The WCE 2021 is organized by the International Association of Engineers (IAENG). This conference will provide an important platform for scholars, engineers, and students to showcase their innovative research outcomes, transfer new knowledge, and boost interdisciplinary collaboration in areas of the frontier topics in the theoretical and applied engineering and computer science subjects.

This Special Issue of Sensors (IF: 3.275, ISSN 1424-8220) will collect a number of outstanding papers presented at the WCE. Conference participants are invited to submit extended versions of their conference papers to this Special Issue.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Fault detection and diagnosis;
  • Fault/failure prognosis;
  • Root cause analysis and troubleshooting of faults/failures;
  • Condition monitoring methods, technologies, and systems;
  • Nondestructive testing (NDT) methods, technologies, and systems;
  • Structural health monitoring methods, technologies, and systems;
  • Advanced and novel sensor types and actuator types;

Maintaining bridges that support road infrastructure is critical to the economy and human life. Structural health monitoring of bridges using vibration includes direct monitoring and drive-by monitoring. Drive-by monitoring uses a vehicle equipped with accelerometers to drive over bridges and estimates the bridge’s health from the vehicle vibration obtained. In this study, we attempt to identify the driving segments on bridges in the vehicle vibration data for the practical application of drive-by monitoring. We developed an in-vehicle sensor system that can measure three-dimensional behavior, and we propose a new problem of identifying the driving segment of vehicle vibration on a bridge from data measured in a field experiment. The “on a bridge” label was assigned based on the peaks in the vehicle vibration when running at joints. A supervised binary classification model using C-LSTM (Convolution—Long-Term Short Memory) networks was constructed and applied to data measured, and the model was successfully constructed with high accuracy. The challenge is to build a model that can be applied to bridges where joints do not exist. Therefore, future work is needed to propose a running label on bridges based on bridge vibration and extend the model to a multi-class model. Full article

The transport network in eastern Japan was severely damaged by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. To understand the road recovery conditions after a large earthquake, a large amount of time is needed to collect information on the extent of the damage and road usage. In our previous study, we applied cluster analysis to analyze the data on driving vehicles in Fukushima prefecture to classify the road recovery conditions among municipalities within the first six months after the earthquake. However, the results of the cluster analysis and relevant factors affecting road recovery from that study were not validated. In this study, we proposed a framework for determining post-earthquake road recovery patterns and validated the cluster analysis results by using discriminant analysis and observing them on a map to identify their common characteristics. In addition, our analysis of objective data reflecting regional characteristics showed that the road recovery conditions were similar according to the topography and the importance of roads.
