Software design of bridge health monitoring system based on Java-EE and Android

Abstract

In recent years, with the widespread construction of bridge, there are more and more bridge accidents happened in China, even all over the world, which cause causalities and property loss. The reason why most of bridge accidents occurred is lack of effective monitoring. The necessity of bridge health monitoring has been drawn more and more attention. In this paper, a bridge health monitoring system is proposed, which consists of hardware and software. The hardware design of the system adopts the way of wireless sensor networks. The software design of the system adopts Java-EE and Android technology to achieve related functions, for instance, registering, showing and changing user data, and showing collected pressure data, which ensures that the browser and phone client receive the same monitoring information. The system can monitor the health of the bridge and what's more important is that it is helpful for bridge maintenance to prevent accidents.
