Advanced Development On Real Time Monitoring Of Bridges Using Wireless Fidelity

Wireless fidelity technology enables communication without the use of wires or connections between two or more people across large distances. Wireless technology encompasses communications that utilize both radio frequencies (RF) and infrared waves. The origin of wireless technology can be traced back to the invention of electromagnetic waves by the German physicist, geophysicist, and engineer, Heinrich Hertz. In the late nineteenth century, the commercial wireless telegraph service was established by the Italian entrepreneur Gugliello Marconi, more than half a century after the invention of the first commercially available wired telegraph in 1832. In the early twentieth century, Marconi was one of the pioneers of radio communications, transmitting radio signals to mobile receivers on ships. Wireless has always been more advanced than wired technology, and it's usually more expensive too, but it's also given us the added benefit of being able to move around and get and send information.In this project, we'll be using MATLAB software to design and test the full model. We'll also be looking at wireless bridge health monitoring systems. ZigBee acts as the wireless network for short-range IEEE 802.11 communication between sensors in the bridge.
