Abstract

This paper proposes a deep learning-based approach for bridge health monitoring, addressing the inefficiencies and limitations of conventional inspection methods. As critical transportation infrastructure, bridge conditions directly impact public safety. Traditional monitoring techniques, however, are often labor-intensive, time-consuming, and costly, failing to provide real-time structural assessment. To overcome these challenges, an automated damage detection system is developed that leverages the superior feature extraction and pattern recognition capabilities of deep learning for image processing and data analysis. The method enables accurate identification of structural anomalies and deterioration patterns, demonstrating significant improvements in both cost-effectiveness and inspection efficiency (35% faster than manual methods) compared to traditional approaches. The proposed framework offers a transformative solution for intelligent infrastructure monitoring, with potential applications in preventive maintenance and safety assurance.
