Abstract

It is essential to monitor the health of important infrastructure (e.g., bridges) to maintain their functions. Visual inspections have been conventionally dominant in this regard, although they are susceptible to human errors. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) provide an automated, convenient, and low-cost option for developing bridge health monitoring (BHM) networks. However, the constant use of WSNs for monitoring the structural and environmental health of bridges can pose a serious challenge due to the limited lifetimes of these networks that depend on the battery lifetimes of sensor nodes. This paper proposes a combined fuzzy-metaheuristic framework to maintain the BHM stability by using rechargeable sensors. This framework benefits from metaheuristic methods and the fuzzy logic to match the sensor network configuration management to the specific conditions of each bridge, recognizing that different bridges share very few common characteristics. Every new bridge is unique; hence, it is difficult to design a BHM paradigm that fits the conditions of all bridges. The proposed framework manages the current network configuration concerning the conditions of each bridge. This framework manages the network topology formation, information relay, and recharge by using a multipurpose objective, tuning control parameters, and controlling network activities in an optimization process. Moreover, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are employed to recharge sensor nodes under the proposed framework strategies to overcome the energy limitation of sensor nodes. The proposed framework is evaluated on three bridge scenarios: Hardanger Bridge, Bergsøysund Bridge, and New Carquinez Suspension Bridge. Compared to common WSN methods, it demonstrated superior performance under various conditions, including the rate of active and inactive nodes, energy efficiency, survival rate, stability, recharge delay, average node energy, recharge requests, and total packets received. The evaluation results demonstrate that the proposed framework significantly surpasses existing methods in terms of WSN performance metrics. The results show that the proposed framework outperforms existing methods by an average of 32.8 % for the Hardanger Bridge, 53.2 % for the Bergsøysund Bridge, and 31.2 % for the New Carquinez Suspension Bridge.
利用无人机可充电无线传感器网络进行桥梁健康监测的模糊-元智论组合框架
监测重要基础设施(如桥梁)的健康状况对保持其功能至关重要。在这方面,目视检查一直占主导地位,但这种方法容易受到人为误差的影响。无线传感器网络(WSN)为开发桥梁健康监测(BHM)网络提供了一种自动化、便捷和低成本的选择。然而,由于这些网络的有限寿命取决于传感器节点的电池寿命,因此持续使用 WSN 监测桥梁的结构和环境健康状况会带来严峻的挑战。本文提出了一种模糊-元启发式组合框架,通过使用可充电传感器来保持 BHM 的稳定性。该框架利用元启发式方法和模糊逻辑,将传感器网络配置管理与每座桥梁的具体条件相匹配,同时认识到不同桥梁的共同特征非常少。每座新桥都是独一无二的,因此很难设计出适合所有桥梁条件的 BHM 模式。建议的框架可管理与每座桥梁的条件相关的当前网络配置。该框架通过在优化过程中使用多用途目标、调整控制参数和控制网络活动,来管理网络拓扑的形成、信息中继和充电。此外,在提议的框架策略下,无人驾驶飞行器(UAV)被用来为传感器节点充电,以克服传感器节点的能量限制。建议的框架在三个桥梁场景中进行了评估:哈当厄尔大桥、伯格索森德大桥和新卡金兹悬索桥。与常见的 WSN 方法相比,该框架在各种条件下均表现出卓越的性能,包括活跃和不活跃节点率、能量效率、存活率、稳定性、充电延迟、节点平均能量、充电请求和接收的数据包总数。评估结果表明,在 WSN 性能指标方面,所提出的框架明显优于现有方法。结果表明,就哈当厄尔大桥而言,拟议框架的平均性能比现有方法高出 32.8%;就伯格索森德大桥而言,拟议框架的平均性能比现有方法高出 53.2%;就新卡金兹悬索桥而言,拟议框架的平均性能比现有方法高出 31.2%。
